                 TRIBUTE TO IMMACOLATA (MAGGIE) LIGOURI

                                 ______


                             HON. JACK REED

                            of rhode island

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 1, 1994

  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an outstanding 
Rhode Islander who is celebrating a special milestone in her life--her 
centennial birthday.
  Immacolata ``Maggie'' Ligouri was born in Acri, Italy, on February 
14, 1894, and immigrated to this country at the age of 17 in the year 
1911 and made her home in Rhode Island.
  She was married to the late Giuseppe Ligouri and they were blessed 
with four children, Joseph Ligouri, Edward Ligouri, Frances Roebuck, 
and Minnie Ravenelle. She has a wonderful extended family of 11 
grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.
  During her long and distinguished life, she has enriched the lives of 
many and made a lasting contribution to her community. Her family and 
many friends have gathered to honor this distinguished woman as she 
celebrates her 100th birthday.
  Mr. Speaker, there are few Americans who achieve this distinction, 
and I urge my fellow colleagues to join me in celebrating the life of a 
special individual from a wonderful Rhode Island family.
