                      Wednesday, September 7, 2016

  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a constituent of 
mine, Mrs. Arlene Taylor who retired on Thursday, September 1, 2016 
after thirty-eight years with various departments within the Missouri 
State Government. Mrs. Taylor most recently worked as a Personnel 
Officer for the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations/
Human Resources. Previously, she worked for the Missouri Department of 
Social Services and the Missouri Department of Corrections. For thirty-
two of the thirty-eight years, Mrs. Taylor has enjoyed working in the 
human resources field. Throughout her time working in human resources, 
Mrs. Taylor has served many employees. Some of her responsibilities 
have included career counseling, assisting employees preparing for 
retirement, explaining benefits, and helping employees with disability 
retirement.
  Mrs. Taylor grew up in Linn, Missouri and has called Jefferson City, 
Missouri home for the last thirty-four years. Throughout her lifetime, 
Mrs. Taylor has been a member of Cathedral of St. Joseph, Missouri Farm 
Bureau, and the Daughters of Isabella. She has also been involved with 
the Jefferson City Apartment Association and Women's Auxiliary Officer. 
Mrs. Taylor enjoys participating in various craft classes in her spare 
time. She also loves to travel with her husband, Joe.
  With this retirement, Mrs. Taylor will now be able to spend more time 
with her husband of thirty-three years, Joe. She'll also treasure more 
moments with her daughter, Kathryn Taylor; son, Brian Taylor and 
daughter-in-law, Dawn Taylor.
  I ask you in joining me in recognizing Mrs. Arlene Taylor on her 
retirement. The commitment she has shown to the State of Missouri and 
to the employees she has helped throughout her human resources career 
is a commendable accomplishment.
