                    TRIBUTE TO SHIRLEY ANNE JOHNSON

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, today I have the honor of 
recognizing Shirley Anne Johnson of Missoula for her many decades of 
service to her community through the Fraternal Order of the Eagles.
  Mrs. Johnson was born in Bozeman, MT, in 1939 and lived in several 
different communities across the State while growing up. She eventually 
settled in Missoula with her husband Ted and became an elementary 
school teacher. During those years, she joined the Fraternal Order of 
Eagles Auxiliary and rose through the ranks, eventually chairing her 
local auxiliary club and becoming grand auxiliary president for the 
State of Montana.
  During her work for the Eagles, Shirley donated much of her time to 
the creation and maintenance of Missoula Manor Homes, a nonprofit 
retirement home for seniors in need. Shirley and her husband were 
involved in Missoula Manor Homes from the very beginning. They played a 
direct role in securing land and overseeing its construction. In later 
years, she donated her time to Missoula Manor Homes bake sales every 
month, raising money for the residents of the facility.
  Mrs. Johnson continues to serve her community, volunteering for the 
Missoula Food Bank and remaining involved with the Eagles. She has 10 
grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. In October, she was honored 
with the Legion of Honor Award by the Chapel of the Four Chaplains for 
her nearly six decades of community service.
  Shirley Anne Johnson embodies the spirit of community that is so 
common across Montana. I congratulate Shirley and thank her for 
steadfast commitment to service.
