TEXAS LADY
« on: November 12, 2024, 06:22:43 AM »
As most of you will know, Jinny was our very much loved Admin. Known to most of us as TEXAS LADY.


She was always helpful to all of us and comforting and suggestive of ways to manage RFF posts. I know how many hours she put into RFF. And how many times she suggested a much better way to handle a discussion than I could have done. She was a wonderful friend and taught me a lot about making RFF a wonderful place to be.


She loved the Amazing Race too but mostly she loved all of you. Many were the times she reached out to members asking if they needed help or suggesting kinder ways to handle a conversation with other members. She had a wonderful way of gently encouraging others to be friendly and helpful to others. I learned SO much from her.


Sadly Jinny began to lose her sight and slowly became unable to read or follow the RFF chats. Even then she was still helping others here as long as possible. AT some point we lost her phone calls and texts and at that time we lost a way to reach her.


It has taken me quite a while to find her family and ask their permission to share her information. They very kindly have given me her Obituary to share.


If any of you would like to share a story or a way she encouraged you, please do share it here. Her family would love to hear about that.


Fly with the angels Jinny!! You are so beloved.

Jinny, AKA Texaslady was the first one to welcome me to RFF. She was always super polite and always there to lend a ear. We would trade emails every so often and this is a huge loss for RFF. RIP Jinny, you will be missed.

My sincerest condolences. Though I personally only interacted with Texas Lady a few times, she seemed like a wonderful warm-hearted person. I had wondered from time to time about her absence.

Thank you Peach for posting this <3

As Leasfs pointed, is a huge loss for this Forum. She was always kind with all of us even when she had to get us back on track when we crossed the line. When she had to stand aside it felt like this place it wouldn't be the same without her (not worst or better, but different) because that was what she emanated, like a mom gathering all their children at home. She will be missed a lot.  :'(

I am deeply saddened by her passing. She was an integral part of the forum for so long. Rest well Jinny - our beloved Texas Lady.

Texas Lady was so dedicated to this forum, and we all owe her a debt of gratitude for helping create the infrastructure and organization we all enjoy. I'm heartened to hear that she had such a large family and hope they had a wonderful and long time together, and that they find solace knowing they'll all be reunited again someday. May she rest in peace.

OMG this is so sad :'( TL was always such a kind person who did so much around the site and literally the sweetest imaginable  :2hearts: She handled everything modding-related very delicately with calmness to the point it was inspiring. And always just a joy to talk to about everything. Love you so much forever Jinny we all miss you  :2hearts: :'(

TexasLady will be missed. I haven't been active on this forum for many years, but I wish her and her family all the best!
