             HONORING THE LIFE OF MARGARET ``PEGGY'' MURRAY

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the remarkable life of 
Margaret ``Peggy'' Ann Murray who passed away peacefully on June 6, 
2024.
  Peggy's life was a testament to dedication, service, love.
  Born and raised on a farm in Huron, Ohio, she embodied the values of 
hard work, learning, and compassion that imbues an ethic that makes 
life worth living.
  A proud graduate of Marquette University, Peggy's journey was marked 
by a profound commitment to her faith and her community. She taught CCD 
for 15 years and was a founding member of Habitat for Humanity's 
Firelands affiliate and played a pivotal role in the establishment of 
the Second Harvest Food Bank of northeast Ohio.
  She supported education through the Charles and Margaret Nickels 
scholarship, named in honor of her late parents.
  A lifelong member of the Democratic Women of Erie County, Peggy 
served on the Erie County Democratic Central Committee.
  Peggy's legacy is carried on by her loving husband Dennis, Sr., 5 
children, and 11 grandchildren. Her life was a beacon of service, love, 
and unwavering commitment to bettering her community and world around 
her and us.
