||
WHEREAS, A full and generous life drew to a close with the | ||
passing of Albina Ann Mages Schmitz of Gainesville on May 7, 2023, | ||
at the age of 89; and | ||
WHEREAS, The former Albina Mages was born to Joe and Theresa | ||
Bayer Mages on February 15, 1934, in Muenster, and she grew up with | ||
the companionship of six siblings, Clara, Henrietta, Loreta, Norb, | ||
Louise, and Polly, and a half-brother, Edgar; she graduated from | ||
Sacred Heart Catholic High School in 1952, and she went on to become | ||
a licensed cosmetologist and to work as a hairdresser; and | ||
WHEREAS, On May 30, 1955, she was joined in matrimony to John | ||
H. Schmitz, with whom she shared a rewarding union that spanned | ||
nearly five decades; she took great pride in her five children, Joe, | ||
MaQuita, John, Steve, and the late Carmen Crowsey, and with the | ||
passing years, she had the pleasure of seeing her family grow to | ||
include seven grandchildren, Brandi, Tiffany, Shelby, Suzanne, | ||
Kenadie, Victoria, and Nicholas, and five great-grandchildren, | ||
Colton, Camryn, Lucy, Henry, and Sally; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mrs. Schmitz and her husband owned and operated | ||
Johnny's B-29 Club and Johnny's DX gas station for many years, and | ||
after the businesses were sold, she worked in a variety of jobs | ||
until her retirement; in her leisure hours, she enjoyed baking, | ||
making afghan blankets, and traveling, and she gave generously of | ||
her time and talents as a volunteer foster grandparent; a woman of | ||
strong faith, she was an active and longtime parishioner of | ||
St. Mary Catholic Church in Gainesville, where she sang in the | ||
choir, served as a member of the altar society, and coordinated | ||
communion for nursing home residents and homebound individuals; and | ||
WHEREAS, Although she will be deeply missed, Albina Schmitz | ||
has left her family and friends with many cherished memories, and | ||
they will forever hold her close in their hearts; now, therefore, be | ||
it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Albina Ann Mages | ||
Schmitz and extend sincere condolences to all who mourn her | ||
passing; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of | ||
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Albina | ||
Schmitz. | ||
