                     REMEMBERING CINDY WADE TANNER

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember and 
honor the life of Mrs. Cindy Wade Tanner.
  From Waycross in Georgia's First Congressional District, she was 
loved and cherished by many.
  Mrs. Tanner was a gifted teacher and a pillar in her community. She 
taught at Bacon County High School and later moved to Ware County High 
School.
  After teaching high school students, Mrs. Tanner worked at Waycross-
Ware Technical School and retired in 2017 as vice president for 
institutional advancement. While there, she planned and coordinated the 
first community-wide social fundraiser, the Gala.
  In 1998, Mrs. Tanner was awarded the Rick Perkins Award of 
Excellence, which is to honor technical college instructors who make 
significant contributions to technical education through innovation and 
leadership in their fields.
  She dedicated most of her time to teach and lead others, as she was 
also a beloved Sunday school teacher at her church.
  Mrs. Tanner's selfless legacy will always be remembered.
  Her family and friends will be in my thoughts and prayers during this 
most difficult time.
