	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 51


	In Memory
	of
	Mary Espiritu

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins the
	citizens of San Antonio in mourning the loss of Mary Espiritu,
	who died January 15, 2011, at the age of 88; and
	WHEREAS, Mary Espiritu was born in San Antonio on September
	8, 1922, to Richard and Amelia DeLeon; during her 40-year tenure
	as an employee at Kelly Air Force Base, she progressed from clerk
	typist to logistics management specialist; and
	WHEREAS, She was a longtime advocate of equal rights for
	women and minorities, and she counseled and mentored many women
	throughout her life; citing her own example of attaining a
	bachelor's degree while working full-time and being a mother, she
	encouraged women to pursue a higher education; and
	WHEREAS, She was active in her community and held
	leadership positions with various civic organizations, including
	the League of United Latin American Citizens, where she served as
	president of Council 4619 and as women's deputy for District XV;
	she received numerous awards over the years, was recognized as
	one of the "100 Outstanding Hispanic Women in Communications" by
	a national Hispanic magazine, and was inducted into the National
	Hispanic Women's Hall of Fame; and
	WHEREAS, Mary Espiritu had a positive impact on the lives
	of many people through her volunteer work and her service to her
	community; a devoted mother and grandmother, she leaves behind
	memories that will be treasured for years to come by her family,
	her many friends, and all those who had the good fortune of
	knowing this dynamic and caring woman; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
	Legislature, hereby honor the memory of Mary Espiritu and extend
	sincere condolences to her bereaved family; 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
	Mary Espiritu.
