BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. McCLAIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an exceptional public servant, Nancy Nevers, who has dedicated twenty years of service to Macomb Township as an elected trustee. Born on September 17, 1941, in Detroit, Michigan, Nancy's journey has been one marked by a deep commitment to her community and a passion for public service. She attended Our Lady of Mercy Catholic High School in Detroit before her family relocated to Dearborn Heights, where she completed her high school education. Nancy went on to further her education at Central Michigan University where she studied business administration. She also received further education from Michigan State University through the citizen planner program.

In 1962, Nancy married Larry Nevers, and together they raised a daughter, Kelly. Today, Nancy is the exceptionally proud and devoted grandmother to Madeleine Bingham, a role that brings her immense joy and fulfillment.

A resident of Macomb Township for the past twenty-four years, Nancy has been an elected member of the Macomb Township Board of Trustees since 2004. Over the years, she has shown an unwavering dedication to the welfare of her community, contributing her time and talents to a variety of causes and initiatives. Nancy has served as an active member of both the Friends of Macomb Township Foundation and the Kiwanis Club, where she helped raise funds to support scholarships for deserving youth, assisted foster children, and contributed to many other charitable endeavors.

Among her many contributions, one of the most significant is Nancy's leadership in the creation and dedication of a public memorial to first responders and military veterans on the grounds of the Macomb Township Hall. This memorial stands as a tribute to the brave individuals who serve our nation and our community.

Throughout her tenure, Trustee Nevers has been instrumental in guiding Macomb Township through both internal and external challenges with grace, wisdom, and a steadfast commitment to progress. She has played a key role in the expansion of the Township's recreation amenities, roadways, and sidewalks, ensuring that Macomb Township remains a vibrant, accessible, and safe community. Additionally, her work in enhancing public safety resources has been vital to improving the quality of life for all residents.

Beyond her public service, Nancy is a big Elvis Presley fan and enjoys gardening, interior decorating, and design. These personal interests reflect her creative spirit and love for making her surroundings beautiful.

Trustee Nevers' contributions to Macomb Township and her dedication to improving the lives of those around her have made a lasting impact. Her legacy of service, compassion, and leadership will undoubtedly continue to inspire the community for years to come.

Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Nancy Nevers for her remarkable achievements and expressing our gratitude for her unwavering service to Macomb Township.
