WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas honors and | ||
commemorates the life of Vida Marcet, who died December 7, 2020, | ||
at the age of 71; and | ||
WHEREAS, Vida Marcet was born on February 11, 1949, in | ||
Mexico City; she enjoyed an idyllic childhood and developed | ||
passions for art, music, culture, and education before going on | ||
to earn undergraduate and graduate degrees from the National | ||
Autonomous University of Morelos; and | ||
WHEREAS, She had a distinguished career as an educator; she | ||
first served as an elementary education and kindergarten | ||
teacher, and later, she was an administrator with Mexico's | ||
federal education agency; and | ||
WHEREAS, She married Arnold Garcia Jr. of Austin in 2008, | ||
and she was deeply devoted to her adopted family, especially her | ||
stepchildren and step-grandchildren, who were a source of much | ||
pride and joy for her; she particularly enjoyed family vacations | ||
to locales across the country and around the world; and | ||
WHEREAS, After her move to Texas, she quickly began to | ||
treasure the state, and she took great pleasure in such | ||
traditions as country and Tejano music, chicken fried steak, and | ||
Tex-Mex cuisine; she was an avid participant in the Celebrate | ||
Texas events surrounding March 2; and | ||
WHEREAS, Vida was a woman of warmth, grace, and generosity | ||
who gave unselfishly to others; she will long be remembered for | ||
her enthusiasm for living each day to the fullest, and she leaves | ||
behind memories that will be cherished forever by all who were | ||
privileged to share in her life; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby extend sincere | ||
condolences to the bereaved family of Vida Marcet; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
her family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the Texas | ||
Senate and that when the Senate adjourns this day, it do so in | ||
memory of Vida Marcet. | ||
