                      Thursday, November 20, 2008

  Mr. SKELTON. Madam Speaker, it is with deep sadness that I inform the 
House of the death of Mrs. Marilyn McMullen of Mission Hills, Kansas, a 
lovely person and dear friend.
  Marilyn, whom I affectionately called ``Lace,'' was a proud graduate 
of Webster High School, Webster Groves, Missouri. She attended Milliken 
College and the University of Missouri, Columbia, where she graduated 
in 1954 with a Bachelor of Science degree from the College of Education 
and where she was a member of the Pi Beta Phi Sorority. She established 
scholarships at the School of Education in honor of her mother.
  Marilyn taught second grade at LaDue Elementary School in St. Louis. 
She was a member of the Grace Bibb Society in support of the MU School 
of Education and a member of the Friends of the MU Library and MU 
Kansas City Alumni Club. She was also a member and a past Director of 
the MU Jefferson Club.
  At Grace & Holy Trinity Cathedral Marilyn had served in the choir and 
vestry. She was a long-time member for over 40 years and Director of 
the Altar Guild at the Cathedral.
  Marilyn was a Cub Scout Den Mother and President of the Boy Scout 
Mother's Club. She also served on the Board of Bishop Spencer Place to 
whom she was very grateful for the wonderful care provided to her 
mother.
  Madam Speaker, I know the members of the House will join me in 
extending heartfelt condolences to her family: her husband, Larry 
McMullen; her two sons and daughters-in-laws, Michael, Andrew, Bonnie 
and Yvette; and her grandchildren, Matthew, Hannah, Sarah, Rachel, Abby 
and Sophie.
