WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Gracie L. Paredes for 40 years of exemplary service | ||
with the Cameron County Sheriff's Office; and | ||
WHEREAS, Gracie began her career with the sheriff's office | ||
as an administrative secretary on September 14, 1978; due to a | ||
lack of women officers in her early years of employment, she | ||
often assisted the deputies with cases involving females; and | ||
WHEREAS, In the course of her long career, Gracie provided | ||
assistance to various law enforcement agencies, county judges, | ||
commissioners, and colleagues, and she earned the respect and | ||
admiration of the citizens of Cameron County; and | ||
WHEREAS, Gracie Paredes manifested uncommon talent in | ||
handling her diverse responsibilities, and she was widely | ||
admired for her kind smile, her patient demeanor, and her | ||
willingness to assist wherever she was needed; she retired from | ||
the Cameron County Sheriff's Office in November of 2018, and her | ||
presence has been greatly missed; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend Gracie L. Paredes on her outstanding | ||
career and her many contributions to Cameron County and extend to | ||
her best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
her as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
