  IN RECOGNITION OF THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF DR. MARIAN ALICE ``MALLY'' 
                                 MOODY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 12, 2009

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I respectfully ask the 
attention of the House today to pay recognition to the life and legacy 
of Dr. Mally Moody, her steadfast service in education, and her 
willingness to give back to her community in Oxford, Alabama.
  Dr. Moody was born in Massachusetts on February 13, 1947, and came to 
Alabama over 30 years ago. As most folks that knew her can attest, she 
dedicated her life to education--working with students, teachers and 
school administrators alike. She taught math at Oxford High School and 
after retiring served on the Oxford School Board. She was in line to be 
the next president of the board.
  Those she taught and all who knew her lovingly referred to her as 
``Doc'' Moody.
  Dr. Moody passed away on April 3, 2009, at the age of 62. On April 
11, 2009, a celebration of her life was held at Grace Episcopal Church 
in Anniston, Alabama.
  I am honored to help recognize this inspirational educator who spent 
her lifetime learning and always teaching. It is my hope her memory 
will serve as an example of what all educators can aspire to be.
