H.R. No. 27 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The 105th birthday of an esteemed Texan is truly | ||
cause for celebration, and Stella Tobola of Rockwall marked this | ||
joyous occasion on September 23, 2021; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born to Vince Alois Fajkus and Anna Mary Fajkus in | ||
Flatonia in 1916, the former Stella Fajkus grew up in West; she | ||
worked daily on her family's farm, and she also helped make ends | ||
meet during the Great Depression by playing banjo and accordion and | ||
singing in a band with her four siblings, Charlie, Tom, Frank, and | ||
Evelyn; and | ||
WHEREAS, At the age of 25, she married Adolph George Tobola, | ||
and they settled in Dallas; the couple raised five children, | ||
Margaret, Jerry, Gene, Joe, and Judy, and shared a fulfilling | ||
marriage until the passing of Mr. Tobola in 1986; a devout | ||
Catholic, Mrs. Tobola was very active in her church, serving as a | ||
Eucharistic minister and collecting food to bring to parishioners | ||
in need; after moving to Ennis, she began working at Minyard's Meat | ||
Market, where she was employed for many years before her | ||
retirement; and | ||
WHEREAS, Today, Mrs. Tobola is the treasured matriarch of her | ||
family, and she especially enjoys Christmas, when her loved ones | ||
can all gather together; she likes making kolaches and apple | ||
strudel, using skills her mother taught her when she was a little | ||
girl; and | ||
WHEREAS, Stella Tobola is a source of tremendous inspiration, | ||
and in sharing the experience gained through more than a century of | ||
life well lived, she bestows a precious gift of wisdom that benefits | ||
all who are fortunate enough to know her; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate Stella Tobola | ||
on her 105th birthday and extend to her sincere best wishes for | ||
continued happiness; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mrs. Tobola as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
