R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The tragic passing of Evonna Shameil Stewart on
January 23, 2021, at the age of 27, has brought profound sadness to
her loved ones and to all those whose lives she touched through her
career as a teacher at Lancaster High School; and
WHEREAS, Born on January 24, 1993, Evonna Stewart graduated
from Lancaster High School in 2011; she earned her education degree
from The University of Texas at Arlington and returned to her alma
mater to teach English classes to the next generation of Lancaster
High students; and
WHEREAS, Ms. Stewart's passion for her work was readily
apparent to all who knew her; she had a gift for connecting with her
students and building trust with even those who were harder to
reach, and she inspired many with her genuine love of learning; and
WHEREAS, Although Evonna Stewart is deeply missed by those
she left behind, they will forever treasure their memories of her
kindness, her exuberance, and her unwavering devotion to her
profession; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Evonna Shameil
Stewart and extend heartfelt condolences to all who mourn her
passing; 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 Evonna
Stewart.
