  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of 
Peggy DeLoach Nobles who entered into eternal rest Wednesday, September 
30, 2015.
  Born on September 24, 1936, Mrs. Nobles was the daughter of Henry 
William DeLoach and Navada Todd DeLoach. Mrs. Nobles was raised on a 
farm in Tattnall County and graduated from Glennville High School in 
1954. She was also a graduate of Draughon's Business College in 
Savannah, Georgia.
  Mrs. Nobles was active in business, and for decades worked as the 
administrator of the Long County Sherriff's Office alongside her 
husband, Cecil Nobles, who was the sheriff of Long County from 1969 
until 2012. Mrs. Nobles continued her work with the Sherriff's Office 
as her son, Craig, was elected sheriff in 2012. Mrs. Nobles was a very 
active member of her community and the Long County Chamber of Commerce. 
She was also a longtime member of the Jones Creek Baptist Church in 
Ludowici, Georgia.
  Perhaps most important to Mrs. Nobles was her love for her family and 
extended family with whom she always enjoyed spending time. She is 
survived by her three sons and daughters-in-law: James Cecil Jr. and 
Stephanie, Kenneth Elliot and Bonnie, and Craig William and Elizabeth; 
5 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren; sisters, Gaynell DeLoach 
Paulk of Alexandria, Louisiana, and Ava Jean DeLoach Rooker of 
Glennville; brothers, Charles P. DeLoach of Glennville and Larry L. 
DeLoach of Lakeland, Florida; brother-in-law, Raymond Gus Nobles of 
Ludowici; and several nieces and nephews.
