It doesn’t look like she worked at the Embassy, but I did learn that he grew up in the same exact neighborhood as I did.

Darragh, second-youngest of 17 children, grew up in an Irish-Italian family in Wilmington, Del. She was the first in her family to go to college, graduating from Rice University with a math degree, and she worked in Houston as a computer programmer at Shell Oil.
She was independent and four years older than Rafael Cruz, who had two daughters by a previous marriage when he met Darragh. The girls spent summers with the young couple.
Ted Cruz was born three days before Christmas in 1970 in the Canadian oil town of Calgary, where his parents’ newly launched seismic-data business had taken them.
Of his days in Alberta, he remembers only cold weather. It was later he learned that when he was 3 and living there, his parents separated. Rafael Cruz returned to Houston. About six months later, Darragh followed, though they remained estranged.
Ted recalled that one day, a friend of Rafael’s invited him to Clay Road Baptist Church in the northwest Houston suburb of Spring Branch.
