                           HON. ED WHITFIELD

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 12, 2016

  Mr. WHITFIELD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the career of 
Edwina Lyons from Scottsville, Kentucky.
  It can often be difficult to find employees who truly exemplify 
service, loyalty, integrity and commitment but Edwina has showcased all 
of these and more during her thirty-four years of service at Dollar 
General.
  Edwina joined Dollar General on May 20th, 1982. She began in the 
Rework department at the Scottsville Distribution Center and grew her 
career and her influence through her hard work and dedication to 
excellence, eventually becoming the Senior Manager of Merchandise 
Support for the company. The length of Edwina's tenure has only been 
matched by the depth of her commitment to the Dollar General family.
  What is truly inspirational about Edwina is the positive impact she 
has had on the employees at Dollar General and her community. When she 
departs in April, her passion for doing the right thing and her deeply 
rooted values will be missed.
  I congratulate Edwina on an exceptional career and wish her well on 
her next chapter. Undoubtedly, she will continue to be of service to 
others.
