                  CELEBRATING LIFE OF MARCY MAE PAIRAN

  (Mr. TAYLOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TAYLOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate the 
life of Marcy Mae Pairan.
  Marcy was a lifelong resident of Ohio's Second Congressional District 
and a beloved wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother. 
Marcy passed away on May 13, 2025, at the age of 82.
  Marcy always put service above herself. She served as a cook at the 
Brooks-Yates School. Those who knew her well say Marcy never met a 
stranger and had a wonderful sense of humor that put everyone around 
her at ease.
  Beyond her love of family and kindness to others, Marcy will be 
remembered as the queen of pee wee football. She served as a founding 
member and treasurer of the Pickaway County Pee Wee Football Board, 
working to ensure that every child who wanted to participate could do 
so.
  Throughout her more than 50 years of involvement in pee wee football, 
Marcy earned the love and affection of the youth in her community. Many 
called her mom and knew they could always count on her to be there for 
them.
  The greatness of America lies in ordinary citizens like Marcy who 
became part of something bigger than themselves. Let's all work to 
follow her example by being kind to one another and leading service-
oriented lives.
