                        TRIBUTE TO BEVERLY WADLE

                                 ______

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 25, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor 
Beverly Wadle of Des Moines, Iowa on the very special occasion of her 
retirement after 25 years of faithful service as office manager to 
Trinity Lutheran Church of Des Moines. As she retires, her church 
community is acutely aware that her dedication will be missed.
  Mrs. Wadle has served the traditional congregation, the Trinity 
Lutheran Church Sunday School program, and welcomed nearby Drake 
University students to the church family, making them feel welcomed 
while away at college. Many say that her most fulfilling work has been 
the unwavering commitment to assist the church's efforts for relocation 
of Laotian and Sudanese refugees as they build a better life in Iowa. 
She also coordinates the Lutheran Women's Missionary League, Drake 
Lutheran Student Fellowship, and Trinity Lutheran Church's partner 
churches, the Asian Lutheran Mission, and the Sudanese Lutheran 
Mission. Her daily duties have included coordinating independent day 
care as well as several 12-step programs which use the Trinity Lutheran 
Church facilities.
  I commend Beverly Wadle for living her faith and her Iowa values. I 
wish her a lifetime of joy and happiness as she embarks on a new 
journey. I know my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives will join me in congratulating Beverly Wadle on this 
celebratory occasion.
