                        Thursday, April 21, 2016

  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a constituent of 
mine, Lillie Ruth Barlow Lindsey. She will be celebrating her 80th 
Birthday on May 26, 2016.
   Lillie was born in Bay Springs, Mississippi on May 26, 1936. At age 
10, Lillie's family moved to Laurel, Mississippi, where she remained 
until she married A.C. Lindsey in August of 1951. After they married, 
A.C. and Lillie moved to Kansas City, Missouri. They remained in Kansas 
City until 2006, when they moved to Wentzville, Missouri. A.C. and 
Lillie had eight children. From those eight children, they have 30 
grandchildren and 32 great-grandchildren. Lillie and A.C. were married 
for 63 years, until A.C.'s passing on January 14, 2014. In her 
retirement, Lillie focused on caring for her husband, A.C., throughout 
his battle with Alzheimer's disease. Lillie has always been a dedicated 
wife and mother. When her last child began junior high school, Lillie 
began working at Halls in Kansas City, Missouri where she worked until 
her retirement. Lillie enjoys sewing and has been an active member of 
her church throughout her life, during her time in Kansas City and 
currently in Wentzville, Missouri.
   I ask you to join me in celebrating Lillie Ruth Barlow Lindsey on 
her 80th Birthday.
