went on to graduate as a member of the Mission High School Class of
1942; and
WHEREAS, This esteemed Texan exchanged the vows of matrimony

woman of deep faith, she was a valued congregant of Our Lady of
Guadalupe Catholic Church; in her spare time, she enjoyed cheering
on her favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys; and
WHEREAS, Aurora Longoria enjoyed a life that was rich in the
intangibles that matter most, and she is deeply missed by all who
held her dear; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Aurora Hinojosa
Longoria and extend sincere condolences to the members of her
family and to her many friends; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
