The resolution honors the memory of Rebecca Wells, who passed away on July 25, 2025, at the age of 49. Born on February 16, 1976, in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, she graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in civil engineering and dedicated nearly 25 years to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Throughout her career, she made significant contributions to highway safety, including the implementation of innovative safety measures and serving in various leadership roles, culminating in her position as district engineer for the Atlanta District. Her work earned her a reputation for visionary leadership and a commitment to reducing roadway fatalities.

In addition to her professional achievements, Rebecca was a devoted wife to Kyle Wells and a loving mother to their two children, Kayden and Kendall. She was actively involved in her community and church, where she mentored youth and shared her vibrant spirit with those around her. The resolution expresses heartfelt condolences to her family and friends, acknowledging the profound impact she had on their lives and the legacy she leaves behind. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for her family, and the Texas Senate will adjourn in her memory.
