 SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 670

  

  

   

 In Memory

   

 of

   

 Sandra Davis

  

   

        WHEREAS, A full and generous life drew to a close with the 

  

 passing of Sandra Dean Erwin Davis of De Kalb on April 3, 2025, at 

  

 the age of 82; and

  

        WHEREAS, The daughter of LeRoy and Blanche Erwin, the former 

  

 Sandra Erwin was born in Lubbock on February 18, 1943, and she grew up 

  

 alongside her brother, Gene Erwin; she met her future husband, Garland 

  

 Davis, while they were students at Arlington Heights High School in 

  

 Fort Worth; their fulfilling relationship was made even richer with 

  

 the addition of a daughter, Stacy, and a son, Greg; Mrs. Davis always 

  

 put her family's needs before her own, encouraging her children's 

  

 musical talent and driving them to countless lessons, rehearsals, and 

  

 competitions, and she was a loyal De Kalb Band Booster; along the way, 

  

 she taught her offspring the importance of kindness and living with 

  

 purpose; and

  

        WHEREAS, Mrs. Davis held a bachelor's degree in sociology from 

  

 the University of Oklahoma; she was employed as an information 

  

 operator for Southwestern Bell, as a secretary at OU, and as a 

  

 preschool teacher at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History; in 

  

 addition, she was a dedicated business partner to her husband in their 

  

 family pharmacy; the devoted couple shared numerous outdoor 

  

 adventures and spent countless weekends on their sailboat with their 

  

 children; among her many talents, Mrs. Davis could repair anything, 

  

 and her ingenuity shone in arts, crafts, and home improvement 

  

 projects; she easily merged two dress patterns to create her 

  

 granddaughter's snow queen costume, and in a single day, she 

  

 fearlessly knocked through a wall to add a framed kitchen doorway; in 

  

 later years, trembling hands did not prevent her from employing 

  

 advanced techniques in her painting; she set an inspiring example of 

  

 grace and resilience in navigating life's challenges; and

  

        WHEREAS, Although Sandra Davis is greatly missed, she has left 

  

 her family and friends with many cherished memories, and she will 

  

 forever hold a special place in their hearts; now, therefore, be it

  

        RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th 

  

 Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the life of Sandra Dean Erwin Davis 

  

 and extend sincere condolences to the members of her family: to her 

  

 husband of 60 years, Garland Davis; to her children, Stacy Deaton and 

  

 her husband, Paul, and Greg Davis; to her grandchildren, Corbin 

  

 McMenamin and her husband, Sean, Colt and Garth Deaton, and Layla, 

  

 Caitlin, and Addison Davis; to her sister-in-law and best friend, 

  

 Donna Martin, and her husband, Dave; to her stepsiblings, Pat Dalton, 

  

 Joe Dalton, Cathy Dalton Burling and her husband, William, and Celia 

  

 Dalton Youngren and her husband, Gary; and to her other relatives and 

  

 friends; and, be it further

  

        RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be prepared 

  

 for her family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns this day, it do 

  

 so in memory of Sandra Davis.
