The resolution honors the memory of Mary Pollard Heines, who passed away on February 12, 2025, at the age of 92. Born in Tyler, Texas, on March 2, 1932, she was the daughter of State Senator Tomas G. Pollard Sr. and Edna Martin Pollard. Mary was a distinguished student, graduating as valedictorian from Tyler High School in 1949 and later earning a degree in radio, television, and film from The University of Texas at Austin. She had a successful career in commercial real estate for over 25 years and was actively involved in her community through various organizations, including the Philanthropic Educational Organization and the Daughters of the American Revolution.

The resolution expresses deep sympathy to her family, including her brother Jack W. Pollard, her sons Blair, Martin, and Clinton, as well as her grandchildren and great-grandson. It acknowledges the joy and love that Mary Heines brought to the lives of those who knew her and concludes with a request for an official copy of the resolution to be prepared for her family, stating that the Texas Senate will adjourn in her memory.
