TRIBUTE TO JOYCE MULLIKEN
______
HON. DAN NEWHOUSE
of washington
in the house of representatives
Friday, July 2, 2021
Mr. NEWHOUSE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the life of one of my constituents, Joyce Mulliken of Ephrata. Joyce Mulliken was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She will be dearly missed by her husband of 57 years, Mike, their son Dan, and her entire community.
A loyal and dedicated public servant, Joyce served in the Washington State House of Representatives representing Grant, Kittitas, and Yakima counties. After serving four terms in the State House, Joyce then served as a Washington State Senator in 2003, dutifully representing her beloved community.
In 2006, Joyce was appointed to the Growth Management Hearings Board, where she worked with citizens, communities, and the private sector to coordinate and plan growth so our state could continue to prosper while protecting our quality of life. After her time as an elected official, she continued to lend her knowledge and insights on legislation with elected officials, even as recently as the 2021 session.
We owe a great debt to Joyce for her continued leadership and integrity, and she leaves a remarkable and admirable legacy behind her. May we all aspire to replicate her continued willingness to be mentor and a friend throughout her life. May her family and her community continue to be blessed by her memory. Rest in Peace, my friend.
