HONORING BRENDA HORN OF CULLMAN, AL
______
HON. ROBERT B. ADERHOLT
of alabama
in the house of representatives
Friday, August 5, 2022
Mr. ADERHOLT. Madam Speaker, today I would like to honor a distinguished citizen of Alabama's Fourth Congressional District, Ms. Brenda Nelson Horn. Through her community contributions, and love for the people of Alabama, her legacy will surely outlast us all. I hope that you will join me in honoring her memory.
In 1960, Brenda was married to Darell Mullaney and they started their family immediately. She was the proud mother of Mike, Scott and Matt Mullaney. Throughout their marriage, they lived in Jacksonville, Florida, St. Petersburg, Florida, Birmingham, Alabama and eventually back to Cullman, Alabama in 1972.
Brenda raised her sons in Cullman until 1982 when she moved with her second husband, Fred Horn to Orem, Utah. After two years in Utah, they moved briefly to Kentucky and then to Shelbyville, TN, where they started a self-storage business.
She returned to Cullman in 1996 and, the following year, she began her work with Cullman Industrial Development (ID) Board. She became indispensable in the office dealing with the record keeper for many functions including financing, contracts, legal documents, budgets, and invoicing. Brenda loved working for the Cullman Industrial Development ID Board and developed close friendships during her 25 years there. She considered those she worked with as her extended family.
Brenda also made significant contributions in politics at both the local and state level. Her guidance and counsel were sought by many candidates for various offices. She managed the successful campaigns for candidates for the Alabama Legislature and Congress and provided consult counsel to many candidates for local offices. She served as Treasurer for both the Alabama Federation of Republican Women and the Cullman County Republican Party, as well as President of the Cullman County Republican Women.
Her legacy is left to be cherished by her three sons Mike Mullaney and wife, Lisa; Matt Mullaney and wife, Melody, and Scott Mullaney; her sister Diane Brown and her husband, Ken; brothers Maxie Nelson and wife, Cindy; and Bruce Nelson and wife, Mary Ellen; and grandchildren Christopher, Emily, Mitch, Kate, Dylan, Hunter, Brianna, McKenzie, Sean, and Haylee, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
Ms. Horn's dedication, patriotic spirit, and lifelong commitment to our state act as an example for us all to look up to as we pursue public service. I ask that you join me as we commemorate the life of Brenda Nelson Horn, and honor her legacy in Cullman County, and the state of Alabama.
