                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 9, 2006

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize posthumously Mrs. 
Judith Poor of Mariposa, CA, for her remarkable life and tireless 
dedication to her community and family. Her community gathered to 
celebrate her life on Sunday, April 23rd, in Mariposa.
  A native of Texas, Judy was well-known in her community for her 
tremendous generosity and an unmistakable southern charm that was both 
delightful and genuine. Judy believed that her family was her top 
priority. As a wife, mother and grandmother, Judy led by example, 
showing that dedication to the family unit though participation in many 
family centered activities was an all-important foundation of the Poor 
Family.
  Holding Texas close to her heart, Judy remained a devout Dallas 
Cowboys fan and enjoyed spending time with her husband, Rod, watching 
modified stock car races. In addition, she served as the circulation 
manager for her local newspaper for 8 years.
  Judy Poor is survived by her husband, Rod; children and their 
families, Larry and Tisha Cullens, Diana Poor, Marty Poor, Christy 
Nicholson, Megan and Mandy Cullens, Larry Cullens III, Jennifer Poor, 
Travis and Randa Poor, Carina Stephens; siblings, Ava Jane Fisher, Jan 
Cromeans and David Hodnett.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor posthumously the life of Mrs. Judith 
Poor of Mariposa, CA. I urge my colleagues to join me in celebrating 
the life of Judy Poor.
