|
|
Cassidy, Susan Ann Cassidy graduated from Panhandle High School in |
|
|
1975 and then enrolled at Texas Tech University; while in college, |
|
|
she earned money by hemming dresses, cleaning dormitory rooms, and |
|
|
working in the cafeteria, and she graduated with a bachelor's |
|
|
degree in education in 1979; after completing her studies, she |
|
|
worked in schools in the Panhandle area for many years, teaching |
|
|
home economics, remedial reading, and English in the towns of |
|
|
Shamrock, Spearman, Big Spring, New Deal, Skellytown, and Hereford; |
|
|
she was an inspiring educator who challenged her students to expand |
|
|
their knowledge and abilities and encouraged their participation in |
|
|
science and history fairs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Cassidy was active in her community as a member |
|
|
of the Darlin' Dames Chapter of the Red Hat Society, as an education |
|
|
coordinator with Business Network International, as president of |
|
|
the High Plains Republican Women, and as a devoted congregant of the |
|
|

|
|
host of hobbies, including scrapbooking, gift-wrapping, sewing, |
|

|
|
antiques, cooking, playing games, reading, writing, and |
|
|
storytelling; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Above all, Ms. Cassidy loved her daughter, Cassie, |
|
|
and had the pleasure of teaching her in the fifth grade in |
|
|
Skellytown; a lifetime member of the Girl Scouts, she led her |
|
|
daughter's troops for 13 years, starting new groups in towns that |
|
|
did not already have one; she was known for her loyalty and |
|
|
thoughtfulness as well as for her adventurous and spontaneous |
|
|
nature; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Susan Ann Cassidy lived a life that was rich in the |
|
|
intangibles that matter most, and although she is deeply missed, |
|
|
she will always be remembered with great admiration and affection; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
