HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The people of Bowie County lost a brave and highly
respected public servant when deputy transport officer Sherri
Katherine Lundy Jones was killed in the line of duty on April 18,
2011, at the age of 54; and
WHEREAS, Born in Atlanta, Texas, on September 10, 1956, the
former Sherri Lundy was the daughter of Billy Lundy and Bonnie
Stout; Deputy Jones served as a Bowie County sheriff's deputy for
six years and distinguished herself through her skill and
dedication; as a part-time transport officer, she treated prisoners
with respect and professionalism; before joining the Sheriff's

WHEREAS, Deputy Jones impressed her colleagues tremendously
with her integrity, loyalty, and dependability, and she won their
enduring affection with her sweet nature and wonderful sense of
humor; her sunny smile and positive attitude brightened the days of
innumerable people; and
WHEREAS, A devoted mother and grandmother, Deputy Jones loved
to talk about the accomplishments of her family members, including
her daughter, Devonna, and her son, Michael, who preceded her in
death; she also enjoyed singing the praises of her fellow law
enforcement officers, as well as sharing funny stories about her
workplace "family," and she had a kind word for everyone she met;
and
WHEREAS, Sherri Jones upheld the highest standards of her
profession and will long be remembered for her profound commitment
to public service; although she will be deeply missed, those who
were privileged to share in the richness of her life will forever
cherish their memories of this warm-hearted and selfless Texan;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 82nd Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby pay tribute to the life of Deputy Sherri Katherine Lundy

Representatives and Senate adjourn this day, they do so in memory of
Sherri Jones.
