                       Tuesday, February 7, 2017

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the Midlands of South 
Carolina has lost a beloved civic leader with the death of Genie 
Duncan. Services were conducted by Presiding Minister Rev. Donna Stone 
Eidson and Pianist Christopher A. McCroskey at Trinity United Methodist 
Church. The following obituary from the church program was heartfelt 
and appropriate:

       Genie Munnerlyn Duncan, 79, was born May 24, 1937, in 
     Marion, SC, and passed away Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2017. She was 
     the daughter of the late Joseph and Catherine Munnerlyn and 
     graduated from Marion High School and Columbia College. She 
     will be deeply missed by her five children, Donald (Laurie), 
     Susan, Madison, Brian (Shannon), and Jody, as well as her 
     five grandchildren, Ashton, Hunter, Landon, Taylor, and 
     Skylar. She is also survived by her brothers, Jody (Ginger) 
     and Sammy (Diane) Munnerlyn. She was preceded in death by her 
     husband of 35 years, Donald A. Duncan.
       Genie lived a full and extraordinary life. She was 
     passionate about her family, faith, her side of politics, USC 
     sports, and ``holding court'' at Nick's on Sunset Blvd. She 
     touched everyone she met in a deep and meaningful way. Her 
     greatest gift to the world was the love she shared with 
     everyone. The love she leaves behind will warm our hearts and 
     conversations for years to come.
       In memory of their sisterly friendship with Genie, the 
     Honorary Pallbearers are carrying a red rose given to them by 
     the family per Genie's request.
       Memorials may be made to Trinity United Methodist Church 
     Maintenance Fund, 1201 Mohawk Dr., West Columbia, SC 
     29169.A07FE8.
