  Mr. OBERNOLTE. Mr. Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise 
today to honor the life of retired Sergeant Doreen Gale Pavey of the 
United States Marine Corps. Doreen was born on August 10, 1929, in 
Johnson City, New York to Ina and Frank Newton. She passed away on 
March 8, 2023, at the age of 93.
  Doreen grew up in the Johnson City area and attended Alfred 
University. Following her graduation, Doreen joined the United States 
Marine Corps during the Korean Conflict working for the Commandant of 
the Marine Corps with distinction for several years. Doreen retired 
from the service as a sergeant to travel the country with her husband 
John.
  Doreen was a devoted wife and mother to three children. She raised 
her children using the core qualities she embraced as a sergeant in the 
Marine Corps: family, country, faith, and service. In fact, her 
daughter, Rebekah, currently serves as a Hesperia City Councilmember. 
Doreen cherished her family above all else, and her unwavering love and 
support were a constant source of strength and guidance to those around 
her. Doreen is survived by her husband, John, her 3 children, and her 3 
grandchildren. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. My 
thoughts and prayers are with her family as they navigate this 
difficult loss.
