                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 26, 2024

  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the life of Mrs. 
Nancy Faye Carlow of Nash, Texas, who peacefully passed away on January 
13, 2024. Mrs. Carlow was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother.
  Mrs. Carlow was born on April 27, 1944, in Maud, Texas, to H.J. 
``Scooter'' and Hazel Smith. From a young age, she was known for being 
an academically gifted student. In 1962, Mrs. Carlow graduated from 
Maud High School as the valedictorian. She later received a bachelor's 
degree from Stephen F. Austin State University and a master's degree 
from East Texas State University. After graduation, Mrs. Carlow briefly 
taught home economics and worked as an elementary school teacher before 
becoming a bookkeeper for Dairyland Farms and Texarkana Tractor.
  Mrs. Carlow was a devoted woman of faith and was a lifetime member of 
the Maud United Methodist Church. While there, she taught Sunday school 
and led the Methodist Youth Fellowship church group for ten years. Mrs. 
Carlow was always a thoughtful woman who sought to put a smile on your 
face. Along with her husband James, she hosted daily happy hours for 
friends and loved ones so they could spend quality time together during 
the pandemic. She also started a weekly tradition of sending flowers to 
others so that they wouldn't feel alone. You could always count on her 
to help guide you throughout life and encourage you to do the right 
thing. Mrs. Carlow's tragic passing leaves behind a legacy of hard 
work, entrepreneurship, and family values that can never be replaced.
  I have requested the United States flag to be flown over our Nation's 
Capitol in recognition of Mrs. Carlow's beautiful and uplifting life. 
She will be dearly missed by her friends, family, and all who knew her.
