  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of my 
dear friend Mrs. Shirley A. Halbeisen. Mrs. Halbeisen was highly 
regarded in her community for her volunteerism at the Hayes Research 
Library, her dedication to her beauty salon, and most of all the love 
she possessed for her family and friends.
   Mrs. Halbeisen was born in Riley Township in Sandusky County in 
1928. She was a proud graduate of Clyde High School and attended Tiffin 
University in 1945, where she was trained in Civilian Employment for 
the Air Technical Service Command nearing the end of World War II. 
Following her training she worked for American Airlines in New York 
City until she returned to her home in Ohio. After successfully 
graduating from Fremont Beauty School, she opened her own business, 
Shirl-Lon Coiffures in Lindsay.
   She married her dear husband, Bernard Henry Halbeisen, on September 
27, 1947. In their fifty-five joyous years of marriage they

had five children. Mrs. Halbeisen frequently volunteered at the Hayes 
Research Library where she worked as a genealogist for many years. Her 
dedication and volunteerism were always commended by her neighbors and 
friends.
   Shirley's love for her friends and family, dedication to her work 
and education, and commitment to the Hayes Research Library, all 
highlight a few of the qualities we all love and will miss most. She is 
survived by her five children Rynda, Veda, Renee, Brock, and Cana; her 
brother Tomas; her twelve grandchildren; and her ten great-
grandchildren. Shirley was a beloved part of our community, and she 
will be deeply missed.
