On the recordNovember 30, 2023
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the life and service of Mrs. Sue Nell Boenker of Fort Worth, Texas, who passed away October 16, 2021. Mrs. Boenker was a dedicated mother, grandmother, and a stalwart Christian. She was married to a dear friend of mine, Al Boenker, who is really one of the most magnificent human beings I have ever had the good fortune to encounter. Mrs. Boenker was born on April 27, 1949, in Hot Springs, Arkansas. On December 5, 1970, she married Al Boenker, and they lived together and had a very happy marriage for over a half century. Sue Boenker personified the American Dream. In 1998, she started her own Allstate Insurance Agency firm and quickly became one of the largest firms in the State of Texas. She continued to operate it successfully for many years. Without a doubt, she was an inspirational role for many people and many entrepreneurs, in particular, in the north Texas area and beyond. Mrs. Boenker was also an exemplary member of her community and a leader in the business world. She was a devoted woman of faith, who never hesitated to pray for the health and well-being of others. She was very selfless. Those that knew her knew that she was incredibly gracious and very generous with her wealth, but also--and far more importantly--her time. Beyond that of a familial nature, she was dedicated to human service. She will forever be remembered in the hearts and minds of those individuals that she cared for and served. Mr.…
