  Mr. CRAWFORD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to encourage my colleagues 
to join me in honoring the life of Mrs. Lucille Jane Soltysik. On the 
morning of Sunday, April 19, 2020, Lucille of Mountain Home, Arkansas 
passed away at the age of 70 years old. She was born on May 20, 1949 in 
Joliet, Illinois. She was married to Roger Soltysik. She moved from 
Illinois to Arkansas in 1998. She served on the Oakland-Promise Land 
Volunteer Fire Department from 2000-2019, where she served as the Fire 
Chief. She also served her community by being on the Baxter County

Quorum Court Justice of the Peace from 2012 through 2020. She was Past 
President of the Baxter County Women Republican Committee and also a 
long time member of the Baxter County Republican Committee.
  She was devoted to her community by volunteering at Hospice, Meals on 
Wheels, PLACO, and she taught food preservation. She was an avid 
gardener, cook and mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was a 
hard worker and nobody would out work her. Arkansas is better because 
of people like Lucille. I ask my colleagues to keep Lucille's friends 
and family in their prayers.
