5	5	WHEREAS, The city of San Angelo lost a remarkable
6	6	philanthropist with the death of Eva Camunez Tucker on June 24,
7	7	2007, at the age of 96; and
8	8	WHEREAS, Born in San Angelo on April 9, 1911, the former Eva
9	9	Camunez was the daughter of Josefa and Reynaldo Camunez; they sent
10	10	her to Incarnate Word Academy in San Antonio because of segregation
11	11	in local schools, but eventually prevailed on San Angelo High
12	12	School to admit her; she became its first Hispanic graduate and went
13	13	on to earn her teaching certificate from Angelo State University;
14	14	and
15	15	WHEREAS, This gifted educator began her career in Mertzon;
16	16	the town hired her to teach Mexican American children, but she could
17	17	find no place to live there, so sheepshearers transported her from
18	18	her residence in San Angelo; after moving on to Ballinger, she was
19	19	soon promoted to the post of principal; she served her country
20	20	during World War II as a mail censor and then as a translator for the
21	21	state department in Washington, D.C.; and
22	22	WHEREAS, On December 30, 1948, she married Art Tucker, an
23	23	independent oilman; the couple settled in Ballinger, where Mrs.
24	24	Tucker began running the office for her husband, a responsibility
25	25	she carried out for nearly three decades; the couple relocated to
26	26	Lueders after buying a refinery and enjoyed a rewarding marriage
27	27	until Mr. Tucker's death in 1975; and
28	28	WHEREAS, Mrs. Tucker returned to San Angelo in 1976 and built
29	29	her husband's legacy into a sizeable fortune through her skill as an
30	30	investor; she lived modestly in the home her father had built and
31	31	donated millions of dollars to religious, educational, and
32	32	charitable causes, as well as to the arts; Mrs. Tucker created the
33	33	Up and Coming Scholars program at San Angelo State and provided
34	34	funds not only to her own beloved St. Joseph Catholic Church, but
35	35	also to churches around the state and in other countries; and
36	36	WHEREAS, The myriad beneficiaries of the Art and Eva Camunez
37	37	Tucker Foundation included the West Texas Rehabilitation Center,
38	38	the San Angelo Symphony, the Concho Valley Home for Girls, and the
39	39	West Texas Collection of San Angelo University; Mrs. Tucker was a
40	40	patron to such West Texas artists as painter Rene Alvarado and
41	41	sculptor Raul Ruiz, from whom she commissioned a bronze statue of
42	42	sheepshearers for ASU in gratitude and remembrance of the men who
43	43	had brought her to and from her classroom in Mertzon so many years
44	44	before; and
45	45	WHEREAS, Beloved by her community, Mrs. Tucker was named
46	46	Citizen of the Year by the San Angelo Chamber of Commerce in 1995
47	47	and received numerous other accolades, among them ASU's first
48	48	honorary doctorate and designation by the Women's Chamber of
49	49	Commerce of Texas as one of the Texas Women of the Century; she was
50	50	invested in the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre, the second
51	51	highest and second oldest of papal orders, and was named a papal
52	52	lady, the highest award a Catholic laywoman can receive; and
53	53	WHEREAS, Eva Tucker earned the lasting admiration of her
54	54	community as a benefactor and as a role model, and throughout her
55	55	life, she inspired others with her devotion, generosity, and caring
56	56	nature; now, therefore, be it
57	57	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
58	58	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Eva Camunez Tucker and
59	59	that when the Texas House of Representatives adjourns this day, it
60	60	do so in memory of Eva Camunez Tucker.
