| WHEREAS, The thousands of deaths caused by COVID-19 in Texas | ||
| have created a tremendous void in families, communities, and | ||
| workplaces throughout the state; among those who lost their lives | ||
| in the pandemic was Officer Vickie James, a dedicated and | ||
| well-respected employee of the Texas Department of Criminal | ||
| Justice, who passed away on February 10, 2021, at the age of 59; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Officer James served on the third shift at the | ||
| Choice Moore Unit in Bonham; when not working, she enjoyed | ||
| collecting antiques for her home in Celeste, and she was also a | ||
| talented artist; though she had only been with TDCJ for four years | ||
| at the time of her passing, she was a vital member of her team and | ||
| acted as a parental figure for her coworkers; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Vickie James 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 | ||
| all who were privileged to know her; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of | ||
| Officer Vickie James and extend deepest sympathy to her family, | ||
| friends, and colleagues; 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 Vickie | ||
| James. | ||
