  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to a good friend, 
a community leader, a wonderful wife and mother, and devoted American, 
Jackie Mallory.
  Jacqueline Altman Mallory of New Smyrna Beach, Florida died June 23, 
2004, in Port Orange, Florida. She was born in Homestead, Florida on 
August 27, 1936.
  She was a graduate of New Smyrna Beach Senior High School. She 
received a degree in early childhood elementary education in 1957 from 
Florida State University. She was a member of the Delta Gamma sorority 
and was a member of the theater dance group. She taught school in 
Boston, Massachusetts and Sanford, Florida.
  In 1974, Jackie earned a nursing degree from Daytona Beach Community 
College and worked as a registered nurse.
  Active in civic affairs, Jackie was on the Board of the Southeast 
Volusia Hospital District at the time of her death. She also served in 
that capacity under Governor Bob Martinez. Recently, a building at Bert 
Fish Medical Center was designated to be named in her honor.
  She was a member of the Smyrna Yacht Club; a member and past 
president of the Southeast Volusia Republican Club; a former member of 
the Volusia County Republican Executive Committee; a former board 
member of the Visiting Nurses Association, the Volusia/Flagler Red 
Cross, and the Space Coast Lung Association. She was active in numerous 
American Cancer Society Fund Raisers; was on the founding committee for 
the Atlantic Center for the Arts and Images; and was a cheerleading 
coach for the Southeast Volusia Athletic Association. She was a member 
of St. Paul's Episcopal Church.
  She is survived by her husband, Peter, a son, Peter and his wife 
Sherri of Panama City; a daughter, Betsy Visconti and her husband 
Joseph of Titusville; a brother, Vernon Altman and his wife Mary Lee of 
Palo Alto, California; a sister, J'neese Strozier and her husband 
Thomas of Miami and New Smyrna Beach; and two grandchildren, Mallory 
Marie Pumphrey of Titusville and Mary Christine Mallory of Panama City.
  Florida and the New Smyrna Beach area have lost a community leader. 
The Mallory Family has lost a loved one. I have lost a special friend 
whom it has been my honor and privilege to know.
