                         HONORING DEANA ECKERT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MORGAN McGARVEY

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 31, 2023

  Mr. McGARVEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Deana 
Eckert, who was cruelly taken from us too soon at the Old National Bank 
Shooting in Louisville on April 10th.
  Deana was a selfless person above all and found the most joy in 
pouring love into her friends, family, and everyone she encountered. A 
Kentucky native and Western Kentucky University alum, Deana truly 
devoted her life to uplifting others. She had worked for Old National 
Bank since 2016 and was a beloved wife and mother to two children.
  Deana's father said he would always remember his daughter for her 
generosity and ``how good and sweet she was.'' Her husband and daughter 
said that ``she never met someone she didn't leave a lasting positive 
impact on,'' and that she was the ``kindest, most loving and 
compassionate'' person.
  Deana will be remembered by her family, friends, and neighbors in 
Louisville as ``a rainbow of love.''
