  Mr. FARR of California. Mr. Speaker, today I honor a woman who 
supported countless local charities in the community. Mrs. Evangeline 
C. Mills passed away at the age of 69.
  Born in Holtville on November 22, 1930, Eve lived in Salinas for 46 
years. She played a very active role in the community including her 
membership on the advisory board of the Foundation for Monterey County 
Free Libraries, on the board of the Western Stage and also as past 
president of PEO, a women's philanthropic organization. In 1996 Eve and 
her husband were named Volunteers of the Year by the United Way of 
Salinas Valley where they served as co-chairs of the Alexis de 
Tocqueville Society. In the same year, the Development Executives 
Network and the National Society of Fund-rasing Executives, Monterey 
Bay chapter, honored the couple as Philanthropists of the Year. Eve was 
also a volunteer driver for Meals on Wheels of the Salinas Valley for 
over 20 years.
  Eve will be forever remembered by dear family and friends. She will 
be sorely missed by the many people who were privileged to know her. 
Eve is survived by her husband; two sons, David and Jim Mills, both of 
Salinas; two daughters, Susan Mills of Salinas and Kathy Mills of 
Pacific Grove; her parents, Ted and Loreen Todd of San Jose; and eight 
grandchildren.
