H.R. No. 147

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The certain knowledge of a life well lived may
temper the profound sadness felt by the family and friends of Maria
Elia Gonzalez of Rio Grande City, who passed away on January 21,
2013, at the age of 85; and
WHEREAS, Born in La Grulla on July 24, 1927, the former Maria
Solis married Abel Gonzalez, and the couple became the parents of
five children, Abel, Ana, Humberto, Enrique, and Melly; through the
years, she was further blessed with 12 grandchildren and 12
great-grandchildren, in whom she took great pride; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Gonzalez inspired others with her abundant
faith; she helped to establish Sacred Heart Mission in Los Garcias
and shared her time with the Catholic Daughters of the Americas, the
Serra Club, Woodmen of the World, the Sacred Heart Organization,
Vela Perpetua, and the Catholic Mothers Club; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Gonzalez was posthumously awarded the 2013 Good
Shepherd Award from the Starr County Benedictines; and
WHEREAS, Although Maria Gonzalez will be deeply missed,
cherished memories of time spent in her company will long endure in
the hearts of her many loved ones; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of
Maria Elia Gonzalez and extend deepest sympathy to the members of
her family: to her children, Ana Maria Gonzalez, Humberto Gonzalez
and his wife, Cynthia, Enrique Gonzalez and his wife, Gina, and
Melly Gonzalez Salinas and her husband, Amaro; to her grandchildren
and great-grandchildren; to her siblings, Silvina Solis Hinojosa,
Maria Nela Solis Sanchez, Juan Solis, Jr., and his wife, Pita, and
Dolores Solis Gomez and her husband, Paco; and to her other
relatives and friends; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Maria Elia
Gonzalez.
