  Mr. RADANOVICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of 
Nancy Olmstead for her dedication to her family and community. Mrs. 
Olmstead passed away on Saturday, May 30, 2009 at her home in Madera, 
California after a long battle with cancer.
  Nancy Olmstead was born in Des Moines, Iowa to Cecil and Ethel Olson. 
She worked for Sears for a number of years. In 1970 she went into the 
insurance business. During her twenty-five-year career in the insurance 
business, she was a member and past president of the Fresno Life 
Underwriters Association. Mrs. Olmstead was also an active member of 
the Madera Republican Party and the California Republican Party.
  Mrs. Olmstead is preceded in death by her parents and her brothers, 
Richard and Jerry Olson. She is survived by her husband, John Olmstead; 
her daughter, Diana Nole of Fresno; her son, Rodney Ede of Springfield, 
Oregon; and granddaughter, Jennifer Nole of Fresno.
  Madam Speaker, I rise today to posthumously honor Nancy Olmstead. I 
invite my colleagues to join me in honoring her life and wishing the 
best for her family.
