  Ms. MOORE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a great woman of 
faith, Mother Corener Hines-Herring. She was a pastor's wife, musician, 
songwriter, mother, and grandmother from the Fourth Congressional 
District of Wisconsin. Mother Hines-Herring was born on September 12, 
1937 and passed away on July 10, 2014.
  Mother Corener Hines-Herring was born in Haynes, Arkansas to Governor 
and Corener Harris and had 15 siblings. She was married to the late 
Reverend Willie L. Hines, Sr., and their union produced 10 children. 
Reverend Hines, Sr. led the congregation at the Greater Westside Church 
of God In Christ where Mother Hines served as first lady to the church.
  Mother Hines-Herring was a Member of Christian Faith Fellowship 
Church of God in Christ, Inc., where her eldest son, Bishop Darrell L. 
Hines, Sr. is pastor. Mother Hines-Herring was a prayer warrior and 
lived to praise God. She loved to dance before the Lord in church and 
played the piano.
  Mother Hines-Herring would always open her home and heart to those in 
need. Although she gave birth to 10 children and raised them well, she 
was a mother to thousands. She was never a complainer but rather a 
doer.
  She leaves behind many friends, admirers and family members to mourn 
her passing including children: Bishop Darrell L. Hines, Sr. (Pamela), 
former Milwaukee Common Council President Alderman Willie L. Hines Jr. 
(Janel), daughter songstress, Phebe Hines Holmes, Janet Hines Samolyk, 
Daven Hines (Tonya), Robin Hines Young (Harold), Bridgette Hines 
Flowers (Curtis), Sharon Hines Monroe (Mark), Rhoda Hines Turner 
(Jason), Richard Hines (Liza) and her husband, Mr. Timothy Herring.
  I am honored to pay tribute to Mother Corener Hines-Herring. She was

leader extraordinaire, a pillar of the church, the matriarch of her 
family and my friend and mentor. She has made a positive impact on 
Milwaukee and will be missed.
  Mr. Speaker for these reasons I rise to pay tribute to a woman whose 
legacy will continue to benefit the Fourth Congressional District.
