                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ANN WAGNER

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 18, 2015

  Mrs. WAGNER. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, September 14, my family and I 
said goodbye to a remarkable woman, my mother, Ruth Ann Trousdale. A 
devoted wife to our father, Earl, for 51 years until his death in 2012, 
she was a strong woman with an even stronger faith. As we mourn her 
passing, we also find comfort in knowing she is in the arms of our Lord 
and reunited with her beloved Earl, whom she missed so much. She was an 
inspiration to us all, and we will hold her memory in our hearts until 
we are reunited in heaven.
