India, on August 15, 1950, and her family moved to Hong Kong when
she was 10 years old; and
WHEREAS, Pamela was a student at the University of Hong

1976 and Pamela resumed her college education; she earned a
bachelor's degree from Texas Wesleyan University and a master's
degree from The University of Texas at Arlington; and

committed to education, and she served in the Fort Worth

elementary school teacher, and an assistant principal before
becoming principal of Sam Rosen Elementary School; she later
transferred to Charles Nash Elementary School, which achieved
Exemplary status multiple times during her 13-year tenure; and
WHEREAS, This much-loved educator was also revered outside
the schoolhouse; she loved to laugh and play practical jokes, and
she enjoyed operating her ham radio during her international
travels; Pamela Day was profoundly devoted to her family, and she
will long be remembered for her passion for life and her love of
learning; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
