  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay a final tribute to the 
magnificent life of Mabel Schine. Mabel passed away recently in San 
Francisco after a lifetime of community service and leadership. We are 
very grateful for her distinguished career and her inspirational life, 
and we will miss her greatly.
  As a dietary expert at San Francisco's Mount Zion Hospital, Mary's 
Help Hospital, and the Jewish Home for the Aged and as the City's first 
African American District Health Director, Mabel demonstrated her 
remarkable talents as a dietician and as an expert advisor during her 
thirty-year career.
  Her service to the City of San Francisco included work for the 
Economic Opportunity Council and Model Cities Program and on the 
Citizen's Advisory Committee for Mayor Feinstein's Office of Community 
Development. She served as Treasurer of the San Francisco Black 
Leadership Forum and was actively involved in San Francisco politics.
  Following her retirement, she continued to serve her community at 
Bayview Hunter's Point Senior Health Day Care Center, Bayview Hunter's 
Point Boy and Girls Club, and as President of the San Francisco Sickle 
Cell Disease Foundation. Her service also extended to Contra Costa 
County where she led non-profit boards, ran government commissions, and 
tirelessly and eloquently advocated on behalf of the black community.
  To her husband Lloyd Schine, her daughter Marvin Jean and her son 
Lloyd Jr., her sisters, her grandchildren and her many dear friends, 
thank you for sharing Mabel with our City and our community. I hope it 
is a comfort to you that so many people share your grief and honor her 
memory.
