  Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I am honored to recognize the life and 
legacy of Mrs. Marlyn Shreve of Taylor County. For many years Mrs. 
Shreve was an integral part of her community and showcased her 
dedication to serving others. On behalf of the First District of 
Kentucky, it is my privilege to honor her memory and service to her 
community today.
  Mrs. Shreve's extensive community involvement was demonstrated 
through her exemplary work on notable boards and clubs in 
Campbellsville, KY. She was an active member of the Taylor County 
Republican Women's Club since 1971, serving as President twice. The 
second time she served as President began in 1999, making her the 
club's longest serving club president. She also held the offices of 
Treasurer, Vice President and Vice Chair throughout her 49-year club 
tenure.
  A true pioneer, Mrs. Shreve was the first woman elected to her local 
Board of Education which she served on for a total of eight years. In 
addition to her community involvement, Mrs. Shreve had an extensive 
career

from adulthood to retirement working as a machine operator at the Fruit 
of the Loom. Her life in the church also served as an inspiration to 
others. As an active member at Green River Memorial Baptist Church, 
Mrs. Shreve emphasized the important work of women's mission groups 
within the Church.
  Mrs. Shreve's 52-year marriage to Kenneth Shreve is a the testament 
to their steadfast love, and her outstanding legacy will undoubtedly 
live on with her husband Kenneth, their two children, six 
grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.
  Again, I am very grateful to have the opportunity to recognize Mrs. 
Shreve's tireless service to her community, church, and family and to 
honor her many outstanding lifelong accomplishment.
