                  CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF WANDA RIDDLE

  (Ms. VAN DUYNE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of 
Wanda Riddle of Irving, Texas, who passed on August 5, 2021. She was a 
great friend and faithful supporter of our community for over 35 years.
  Wanda was known as the mayor of south Irving and had a heart for 
public service. We have been fortunate to hear stories from her family 
over the past few weeks, which painted a picture of her life.
  Wanda and her late husband, Jim, started a family and raised their 
sons Rick, Ron, and Rod in Irving. They left a lasting impact on their 
community through the Jim and Wanda Riddle Memorial Scholarship, which 
is set to award a student-athlete from Nimitz High School a $1,000 
scholarship annually.
  Wanda's passing was a great loss for Irving and everyone who had the 
pleasure of knowing her. Our community would not be the same without 
Wanda's guidance, friendship, and support.
  May God continue to bless the community and the Riddle family at this 
difficult time.
