  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the life 
and legacy of my friend Nancy Hicks Sheetz of Hollidaysburg, 
Pennsylvania, who passed away on April 16.
  Nancy Hicks Sheetz was an incredible community leader whose 
dedication defined our

region's art and culture landscape. As a lifelong supporter of the 
theater community, Nancy worked tirelessly to advocate for the Southern 
Alleghenies Museum of Art. She was an outstanding artist, actress, and 
musician who used her talents to bless others.
  A lifelong Blair County resident, Nancy was born on July 9, 1935 in 
East Freedom and attended Altoona High School, where she was elected 
president of her class and graduated in 1953. She was a loving mother, 
grandmother and great-grandmother whose compassion and care for her 
family was evident to everyone she met. In addition to her artistic 
pursuits, Nancy served the Altoona community as a member of the Blair 
County Historical Society. We also shared a love of gardening.
  On behalf of Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, it is my 
privilege to celebrate the life of Nancy Hicks Sheetz and honor her 
legacy. She leaves a profound void in the community that I share 
alongside all who knew her. As we remember Nancy for her many 
contributions to Blair County and our commonwealth, I extend my deepest 
condolences to the Sheetz family.
