                      Thursday, February 26, 2015

  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I would like to honor 
Donna Wiltshire who recently retired from the United States Department 
of Agriculture after serving Illinoisans for over 43 years. In 1971, 
Ms. Wiltshire began her career with the Farmers Home Administration as 
a Clerk Stenographer on the State Office's Housing Staff. After 15 
years, she was promoted to Single Family Housing Specialist where she 
proudly served Illinois for the remainder of her career. She cherished 
opportunities to posit her own thoughts and to hear the ideas of 
others, creating a vibrant and constructive working environment for all 
around her.
  Ms. Wiltshire's dedication and passion for rural development is 
seemingly unmatched and has not gone unrecognized by her colleagues. 
Ms. Wiltshire worked tirelessly to assist families with the home 
ownership process, knowing that home ownership has a lasting effect on 
families and communities.
  In her retirement, Ms. Wiltshire looks forward to spending more time 
with her four grandchildren and continuing her life of service through 
her church.
  I am proud to honor Donna Wiltshire today and would like to wish her 
a happy and fulfilling retirement and thank her for her service and 
dedication to the entire community.
