Bill > HR117

This resolution pays tribute to Katherine Frances Ferruzzo, a 19-year-old from Houston who tragically died in a July 4, 2025 flooding incident in Kerr County. The resolution highlights her remarkable life, noting her academic achievements at Memorial High School, where she served as a student council representative and was a member of the National Honor Society. Accepted to the University of Texas at Austin, Ferruzzo planned to study special education, inspired by her childhood speech therapy experience and her work with autistic students through the Spring Branch Independent School District. She was deeply involved in community service, receiving the President's Volunteer Service Award three consecutive years and volunteering with the National Charity League. The resolution also mentions her significant experiences at Camp Mystic, where she was a tribe captain and was serving as a counselor at the time of her death. By unanimously adopting this resolution, the Texas House of Representatives honors Ferruzzo's memory, extends condolences to her family, and directs that an official copy of the resolution be prepared for her parents, John and Andrea Ferruzzo, and her brothers Jack and Vincent.
