  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mourn the death 
of the Honorable Sheila Mobley McNeill who recently passed away at 81 
years old in the city where she was born, Brunswick, GA.
  Sheila served as Navy League's 42nd national president from 2003 to 
2005. She was the first and only female president in the organization's 
121-year history.
  Additionally, she spent 58 years with the Navy League where she held 
many distinguished positions before becoming its president.
  She earned many awards for her service, including the Secretary of 
the Navy's Distinguished, Superior and Meritorious Public Service 
medals, the United States Coast Guard's Distinguished and Meritorious 
Public Service medals, and many more.
  She also served as a Georgia state senator representing district 3 
from January 2021 to January 2023. She was a devoted wife to Arlie 
McNeill, a Navy veteran who passed in 2023, and is remembered as a 
loving mother and grandmother.
