              REMEMBERING SARAH ``SALLY'' SCHNAITER LUGAR

  Mr. YOUNG. Madam President, I rise today to honor the life of Sally 
Lugar, who passed away peacefully amid the love of family and friends 
on May 2, 2024.
  Sally was a proud, lifelong Hoosier. She was born in Martinsville, 
IN, on June 12, 1934. After graduating high school, she attended Purdue 
University and earned a degree in home economics. While at Purdue, she 
was a varsity cheerleader, president of her dorm, and spent 3 years on 
the Debris, the Purdue yearbook. After graduating, she taught english, 
health and science, and physical education at Muncie Central High 
School.
  Sally married Thomas R. Lugar on April 12, 1958, and they were 
blessed with three children, five grandchildren, and one great-
grandchild. When Tom passed in 2018, they had been married for 60 
years. Sally and Tom were avid travelers who loved experiencing new 
cultures and creating new lifelong friendships. She loved connecting 
with people and serving her fellow Hoosiers. In the last 60 years, 
Sally served more than 30 central Indiana nonprofit organizations. She 
did this while managing

a family farm in Morgan County and raising three children.
  Her service included active engagement with the tennis community and 
extensive involvement with the greater Indianapolis community. In the 
tennis world, she served as the president of the Central Indiana Tennis 
Association; held leadership positions with the Western Tennis 
Association, WTA Junior Development Committee, National Junior Tennis 
League; and co-founded the Indianapolis Junior Development Fund.
  Sally was a leader in central Indiana, holding positions with the 
Junior League of Indianapolis, Day Nursery Auxiliary, Methodist 
Hospital Task Core, WINS, Teachers' Treasures, Purdue Consumer and 
Family Sciences Alumni Association, Purdue President's Council, YWCA, 
Progressive Club, WFYI, Propylaeum Historic Foundation, Kappa Kappa 
Gamma Alumnae Association of Indianapolis, and Daughters of the 
American Revolution, and she was an active participant in many other 
civic and charitable organizations.
  Sally loved her family and relished every family gathering. She loved 
Tom and her children deeply and was extremely proud of their 
accomplishments. She taught right and wrong, honesty, fairness, and 
respect. I know Sally will be missed dearly by her family, her 
community, and the whole State of Indiana, and we celebrate her 
remarkable life.
