                 CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF GENE SEGERBLOM

  (Ms. TITUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. TITUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of Gene 
Segerblom, who recently passed away at the age of 94. A true public 
servant to the end, Gene served Nevada throughout her life, first as a 
high school teacher, then a Boulder City Councilman and, finally, as a 
four-term assemblywoman in the Nevada State Legislature, beginning at 
the young age of 74.
  While in the legislature, she worked hard to defend the rights of 
women and children, as well as to protect the environment and Nevada's 
beauty, which was painted by her husband, Cliff, in many beautiful 
watercolors.
  The Segerblom family has been a fixture in Nevada politics for four 
generations. Gene's legacy continues through her son, Tick, who is a 
State senator today. Tick put it perfectly when he said simply, ``She 
loved Nevada. My mother always had a smile on her face, and she never 
had a bad day.''
  I miss her personally, and Nevada mourns her loss.
