                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. IKE SKELTON

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, August 4, 1999

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, let me take this opportunity to recognize 
Maxine Deamos upon her retirement from the Lafayette Regional Health 
Center in Lexington, Missouri.
  Ms. Deamos first started working at the former Lexington Memorial 
Hospital 34 years ago. During her tenure, she worked as a nursing aid 
in various departments of the hospital,

including surgery, obstetrics, and the operating room. At the time of 
her retirement, Ms. Deamos was employed in the sterile central supply, 
the part of the hospital that provides sterile processing for surgical 
instruments and equipment. A standout employee during her 34 years, she 
was named Lafayette Regional Health Center Employee of the Year in 1967 
and given the Smile Award, recognizing her cheery attitude, in 1997.
  Maxine Deamos is an outstanding citizen of the Lexington community, 
and her wonderful personality will be missed by all at Lexington 
Regional Health Center. During her quieter times, Ms. Deamos plans to 
travel, work on her crafts, and spend time with her grandchildren. Mr. 
Speaker, I am sure that our colleagues join me in recognition of this 
outstanding Missourian.
