  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to remember 
the life of a woman who will be missed greatly. Rose Marie Corcoran 
passed away on January 27, 2000. She was 97 years old.
  Rose Marie was born on November 17, 1902, in Salida, Colorado. She 
married William Corcoran in 1964 in Grand Junction, Colorado. Rose 
Marie was a licensed nurse in Grand Junction as well as a homemaker.
  Rose Marie filled her days volunteering for many organizations. Some 
of these organizations included: First Christian Church Disciples of 
Christ, the Moose Lodge, Ladies Auxiliary of the Elks, VFW Auxiliary, 
Royal Neighbors, Engineer Ladies, and the Veteran's Hospital. She 
received Volunteer of the Year from Denver's Channel Nine at age 93.
  Among other phenomenal things, Rose Marie also liked to travel in 
Italy and other European countries. At the age of 93, she traveled to 
Israel and was baptized in the River Jordan.
  It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I offer this tribute in honor of 
Rose Marie Corcoran. She was an icon in her community and a woman with 
a heart of gold.
