In Memory | ||
of | ||
Angela Farias | ||
WHEREAS, Countless lives were touched by the kindness and | ||
generosity of Angela Maria Farias of San Antonio, who passed away | ||
on January 8, 2020, at the age of 70; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born in Laredo on February 16, 1949, the former | ||
Angie Rodriguez was the daughter of Felipe and Jane Rodriguez; | ||
she grew up with two brothers, Phillip and David, and graduated | ||
from McCollum High School; later, she joined the staff of the | ||
Harlandale Independent School District, and she loved working at | ||
her alma mater, where her sweet smile and sunny disposition | ||
brightened the days of colleagues and students alike; and | ||
WHEREAS, She married Joe Farias on July 18, 1970, and they | ||
became the parents of four treasured sons, Gabriel, Joey, Daniel, | ||
and Jaime; while her children were young, she encouraged them in | ||
all their athletic activities, taking many weekend road trips to | ||
cheer them on, and their friends were also beneficiaries of her | ||
motherly care and affection; she later took pride in becoming a | ||
grandmother, and she delighted in attending her grandchildren's | ||
events, from school carnivals and plays to sports competitions | ||
and award ceremonies; eventually, she knew the joy of becoming a | ||
great-grandmother as well; and | ||
WHEREAS, Dedicated to her South Side community, Ms. Farias | ||
was active in civic life, and she enthusiastically supported her | ||
husband's endeavors during his tenure in the Texas House of | ||
Representatives; he credited her with making him a better public | ||
servant, and he liked to assert that she was actually the bigger | ||
vote-getter; ever pleased to further expand the definition of | ||
family, she welcomed his office staff into the fold; she was | ||
commissioned as a Yellow Rose of Texas by Governor Ann Richards; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Angie Farias lived a life that was rich in family, | ||
friends, and community engagement, and those who were privileged | ||
to share in her love and affection will forever hold her close in | ||
their hearts; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the memory of Angela Maria | ||
Farias and extend sincere condolences to the members of her | ||
family: to her husband, the Honorable Joe Farias; to her sons, | ||
Gabriel Farias and his wife, Katie, Joey Farias Jr. and his wife, | ||
Athena, Daniel Farias, and Jaime Farias and his wife, JoAna; to | ||
her grandchildren, Niya, Xzavier, Analyssa, Joey, Gia, Nicholas, | ||
Noah, Christian, Jasmine, and Elijah; to her | ||
great-grandchildren, Eano, Braylon, and Chanel; to her father, | ||
Felipe Rodriguez; to her brothers, Phillip and David Rodriguez; | ||
and to her other relatives and friends; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
prepared for her family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns | ||
this day, it do so in memory of Angie Farias. | ||
