Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 30 (Thursday, February 12, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 30 (Thursday, February 12, 2026)] [Senate] [Page S607] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] TRIBUTE TO ROBIN KILLEEN Mr. WICKER. Mr. President, on behalf of the people of Mississippi, I commend Robin Killeen for more than 26 years of dedicated service to her community. The residents of Mississippi's gulf coast are better off because Robin has creatively and persistently extended a hand to those in need. A Pearl River County native, Robin Killeen devoted her career to meeting the staffing requirements of various companies. In 1999, she turned her talents in another direction. Robin founded Women of Wisdom, an organization that helps women uplift one another up through their faith, fellowship, and service. Since Robin launched Women of Wisdom, it has become a pillar of strength and wellbeing in south Mississippi. It is in Robin's nature to continue improving. She has expanded the resources offered by Women of Wisdom to include ``The Care Closet,'' a wardrobe filled with free clothing available to women in times of financial need. Robin has also pursued a holistic vision for uplifting Mississippi women, including a wellness group that improves physical, spiritual, and mental well-being. She has also extended the reach of her nonprofit by partnering with others in the Mississippi community, including Advocates for Freedom and Women's Resource Center. Through this collaboration, she is able to help men, women, and children in need. As impactful as her work with Women of Wisdom has been, Robin has gone even further, embracing leadership roles in several community organizations. She has served as executive president of the Biloxi Bay Chamber of Commerce, as a member of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, as ambassador chairperson for the Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce, and as a leader with the Unified Coast Prayer Movement. Robin moved to the coast in 1986 and currently resides in Gulfport, MS, with her husband Pat Killeen. They are proud parents of two children and are thrilled to dote on five wonderful grandchildren. Robin Killeen's unrelenting dedication to community service represents the best of our State. I join my fellow Mississippians in thanking her for a quarter-century of meaningful contributions and lasting impact. ____________________
