                       Thursday, February 5, 2015

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the life of 
Marjorie Ann Sharp, a woman of great faith and an instrumental leader 
in Indiana's Wayne County Council.
  Marjorie was a loving and devoted wife to her husband of 62 years, 
Karl. Together, they were the proud parents of three children, five 
grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. They were also my friends. 
As active members of the Central United Methodist Church, Marjorie and 
her family valued their faith and were diligent leaders within the 
Richmond community. She served for an impressive 16 years on the Wayne 
County Council and, furthermore, became the first female to serve as 
President of the County Council.
  Today, it is my privilege to honor the life of Marjorie Ann Sharp. My 
thoughts and prayers go out to Marjorie's family during this difficult 
time. May God comfort those close to her with His peace and strength.
