| WHEREAS, The daughter of Verle Cudney and Daniel Brandner, | ||

| University of Kansas, she married her high school sweetheart, | ||
| Richard L. Archer, in 1971; she went on to earn a master's degree in | ||
| special education from The University of Texas at Austin; gifted | ||
| and tremendously dedicated, she taught students at various grade | ||
| and ability levels at a number of schools in Central Texas; after 17 | ||
| years, she retired from her rewarding career to focus completely on | ||
| her children, and many of her former students stayed in touch as | ||
| they grew into adulthood; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Ms. Archer was the mother of a daughter, Katherine, | ||
| and a son, James; as James dealt with nonverbal autism, Ms. Archer | ||
| used her professional expertise to help him communicate and learn; | ||
| she was a generous source of support and information for other area | ||
| parents whose children were diagnosed with autism spectrum | ||
| disorder, and she vigorously championed the interests of that | ||
| community at the State Capitol and elsewhere; committed to public | ||
| safety, she was a founding member of the Hays/Comal chapter of Moms | ||
| Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, and she served as its | ||
| survivor membership lead and volunteered in its Be SMART gun safety | ||
| initiative; she was very active in the San Marcos Democratic Party | ||
| as well; and | ||
| WHEREAS, While Cheryl Archer is deeply missed by her family | ||
| and friends, they will forever treasure their memories of her warm | ||
| and sunny nature, her marvelous sense of humor, and her immense | ||
| kindness; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Cheryl Brandner | ||
| Archer and extend sincere condolences to her family and many | ||
| 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 Cheryl | ||
| Brandner Archer. | ||
