WHEREAS, Loved ones will forever cherish their memories of | ||
Susan Ann Cassidy of Amarillo, who passed away on January 3, 2011, | ||
at the age of 53; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born in Amarillo on May 23, 1957, to Joe and Ann | ||
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 | ||
Bell Avenue Baptist Church in Amarillo; moreover, she enjoyed a | ||
host of hobbies, including scrapbooking, gift-wrapping, sewing, | ||
cross-stitching, arranging flowers, decorating wreaths, collecting | ||
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 82nd Legislature of the State of Texas, | ||
1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of Susan Ann | ||
Cassidy and extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to | ||
her daughter, Cassie Daniel; to her brothers, John Cassidy and Jay | ||

Representatives and Senate adjourn this day, they do so in memory of | ||
Susan Ann Cassidy. |
