                       Thursday, February 8, 2007

  Mr. BERRY. Madam Speaker, I rise here today to pay tribute to a dear 
friend, Marzee Ann Hyneman, of Jonesboro, Arkansas. Marzee was not only 
a devoted mother, grandmother and wife; she was someone who spent her 
entire life working to make a positive impact in her community.
  Marzee was born on August 28, 1919 in Jonesboro, Arkansas. After her 
father's death in an accident, she was raised by her mother, Carrie 
Rains Holt, and stepfather, William Charles Holt. She graduated from 
Jonesboro High School in 1936 and got her degree from Arkansas State 
University in 1940. While in college she was a member of the Alpha Tau 
Zeta and Phi Gamma Mu sororities, the French and Home Economics Club, 
and was selected as Journalism Queen. After college, Marzee married 
Frank Hyneman on December 12, 1943, just before he was sent overseas to 
fight in World War II. Upon his return they resided in Trumann, 
Arkansas.
  Throughout her lifetime, Marzee was a civic leader who constantly 
worked to make positive changes in her community. She was an active 
member the Century Arts and Civic Club and the Daughters of the 
American Revolution. She also generously opened her home in Weona, 
Arkansas to host the Trumann Fine Arts Council Mayfest musical 
celebration for several years. Marzee was also president of the Trumann 
Parent Teacher Association in 1961-62 and coordinator of Trumann's 
celebration of the USA Bicentennial in 1976. Because of her leadership, 
she was the first recipient of the ``Woman of the Year'' award given by 
the Trumann Jaycettes.
  As a member of the First United Methodist Church in Trumann, Marzee 
served as choir director for 17 years and believed that her tenure as 
the director was perhaps one of her proudest accomplishments.
  Marzee and her husband Frank Hyneman have two sons and daughters-in-
law, Ben and Janet Hyneman and Hal and Pam Hyneman of Jonesboro. They 
also have five grandchildren, Brian Hyneman, Matt Hyneman, Lindsey Ann 
Hyneman, Hunter Hyneman and Camden Rains Hyneman and three great-grand 
children. They carryon the family tradition of community responsibility 
and activism.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Marzee Ann Hyneman. She 
was an incredible woman who made a difference in the lives of so many 
Arkansans. She will be remembered as a great friend and will be missed 
by all who knew her.
