| husband, Melvin, their two daughters, Bianca and Monique, and their | ||
| granddaughter; she enjoyed spending her leisure time going on | ||
| cruises, dancing, solving crossword puzzles, and playing cards and | ||
| dominoes; in the workplace, her sincerity and caring mentorship | ||
| earned her the lasting respect of her coworkers, who affectionately | ||
| referred to her as "Mama Bear"; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Treva Preston faithfully and ably performed her | ||
| duties throughout her tenure with the Texas Department of Criminal | ||
| Justice, and she will long be remembered with great admiration by | ||
