  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, I rise today with a heavy 
heart to honor the memory of my friend, Ann Haney, a longtime community 
leader in Pulaski County, Kentucky

[[Page E1043]]

and co-owner of Haney's Appledale Farm in Nancy, Kentucky.
  Just a few weeks ago, we were celebrating the annual Kentucky Farm 
Bureau picnic on their popular family farm, and as always, Ann was busy 
entertaining guests and packing up homemade apple and peach pies for 
folks to take home. She was always a gracious host with shining 
southern hospitality and the stellar organizational skills to keep 
everything moving seamlessly behind the scenes. Ann helped carry on the 
legacy of Haney's Appledale Farm for many years, alongside her husband 
Don. Together, they celebrated 50 years of marriage with three children 
and three grandchildren.
  Aside from her time on the family farm, Ann could often be found at 
the Pulaski County Public Library, placing books into the hands of our 
local children, and inspiring them with her love of reading. She 
retired in 2015 after dedicating 29 years as a community relations 
specialist at the library, where she also avidly raised funding to 
provide free books to local children through her role as past president 
of the Pulaski County Dolly Parton Imagination Library.
  Ann was a passionate advocate for education, preserving our history 
and giving back to the community. As a board member of the Mill Springs 
National Battlefield Association, she helped preserve the historic 
Civil War land in Pulaski and Wayne counties that is now designated as 
a National Monument in the National Parks System. Thanks to her 
tireless efforts, countless people from around the country will learn 
about this key battle in southern Kentucky that impacted the foundation 
of our country.
  Finally, Ann was also known for her love of family and the University 
of Kentucky Wildcats. She was past president of the UK National Alumni 
Association and served a six-year term on the University of Kentucky 
Board of Trustees. As we say in the Big Blue Nation, her blood ran true 
blue.
  The sudden and unexpected loss of Ann Haney has been a shock to our 
entire community, and my wife, Cynthia, and I extend our deepest 
heartfelt sympathies to Don and the entire Haney family. We were 
blessed to know Ann and we are forever grateful for the difference she 
made in so many lives.
