                         HONORING CAROL PASTOR

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. THADDEUS G. McCOTTER

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 8, 2012

  Mr. McCOTTER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the extraordinary 
life of Carol Pastor and mourn her upon her passing at the age of 75.
  Born on September 2, 1936, Carol Pastor dedicated her life to her 
family and was the proud matriarch of a three generation Michigan based 
construction business, George H. Pastor and Sons.
  Regrettably, on March 4, 2012, Carol Pastor passed from this earthly 
world to her eternal reward. She was preceded to eternity by her 
beloved husband of 54 years, Richard and her treasured son, Keith. Mrs. 
Pastor is survived by her cherished children, Craig, Mahala, John, Tim, 
and Michelle and will be long remembered by her sister, Barbara and her 
brother, Thomas. She leaves a precious legacy of 12 grandchildren. A 
thoughtful and benevolent woman, Carol will be sorely missed.
  Mr. Speaker, Carol Pastor is remembered as a loving mother, a devoted 
wife, adored matriarch, compassionate leader, and a valued friend. 
Carol was a true lady who deeply treasured her family, friends, 
community and her country. Today, as we bid Carol Pastor farewell, I 
ask my colleagues to join me in mourning her passing and honoring her 
dedicated commitment to her family, our country and community.
