                        Thursday, March 14, 2013

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask for the 
House's attention today to recognize Mrs. Blondell Hollingsworth, who 
is turning 95 on April 7th, 2013.
  Mrs. Hollingsworth was born on April 7th, 1918 in Burwell, GA. Later 
in her life, she attended Garner School of Nursing and then worked at 
Garner Hospital as a nurse. In 1939, she married Mr. Ralph 
Hollingsworth. After that, she worked at Hollingsworth jewelry.
  The Hollingsworths were blessed with one daughter, Sylvia Sue 
Hollingsworth, who was born in 1941. Mrs. Hollingsworth has three 
grandchildren, Angela, Tracey, and Holli, and she has six great-
grandchildren. Their names are Ashley, Laura, Cierra, Pierre, Leigh, 
and Lindsay.
  Mrs. Hollingsworth is a member of Central Presbyterian Church in 
Anniston, Alabama, where she currently resides. Her family is planning 
on having a quiet party to celebrate this milestone.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to join Mrs. Hollingsworth's family and 
friends in wishing her a very happy 95th birthday.
