IN RECOGNITION OF BARBARA PROFFITT
______
HON. BRETT GUTHRIE
of kentucky
in the house of representatives
Friday, August 13, 2021
Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to wish Barbara Proffitt a happy 85th birthday. Barbara is a key figure in the Hardin County community, who is known for her kindness to all she encounters.
Barbara devotes much of her time serving her community. She is the North Hardin High School boys' basketball team's biggest supporter and
``team mom.'' With her father, brother, and husband all having served in the military, Barbara is well connected to the military community. She volunteers to pack food boxes for soldiers who are deployed and bakes her famous pecan pie for each change of command at Fort Knox. Barbara is affectionately known on post as ``The Pie Lady.''
For 30 years, Barbara also served the community through her role as the community/guest relations coordinator at Hardin Memorial Hospital, which is now called Baptist Health Hardin. In this role, she connected the community to the hospital through meetings, dinners, tours, parades, and special functions.
Barbara is a proud mother to Rhonda Hunter and Blake Proffitt, grandmother to three grandchildren, and great-grandmother to a great-
grandchild. Happy Birthday Barbara and thanks for all that you do for the Hardin County community.
