    HONORING MS. DONNIE NEELY FOR HER 50 YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE

                                 ______

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 13, 2016

  Mr. CRAWFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Donnie Neely for 
her 50 years of service at Baxter Healthcare Corporation in Mountain 
Home, Arkansas.
  On June 7, 1966, Ms. Neely reported for her first day of work at 
Baxter's Mountain Home, Arkansas plant which had opened just two years 
earlier. She planned to work only three months to buy school clothes 
for her kids. Now 50 years later she is still with the plant. Ms. Neely 
operates a machine making injection molding parts used in numerous 
healthcare settings, and the parts she makes are shipped to 
manufacturing sites around the world. She has always felt pride about 
the work she does, particularly when seeing those products in action 
while visiting relatives in the hospital. Ms. Neely is known by her 
supervisor as the model employee, someone who can be depended on every 
day, and an employee who works well with all her coworkers.
  Ms. Neely's commitments extend to her family. Her daughter now works 
at the plant as well. She got those school clothes, and much more, 
thanks to her mom's dedication to Baxter Mountain Home.
  I thank Ms. Neely for her fifty years of dedicated and faithful 
service in Arkansas.
