  Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge and honor the 
life of a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-
great-grandmother Mae Elizabeth Robinson. She was born on October 9, 
1917, and departed her earthly habitat to join Heaven's family on 
December 5, 2013. She was the center of the family universe and will be 
so missed.
  Mae was a licensed psychiatric technician for the State of 
California. She loved her family first and loved to host family 
dinners, which were well known, especially for her fried chicken. In 
her later years she enjoyed playing cards with her retired friends.
  Mae Robinson was an active member nearly 54 years of the Escalon 
Republican Women Federated Club, California Federation of Republican 
Women and National Federation of Republican Women. At age 96, Mae 
served most recently as Vice President of the Escalon RWF club and 
participated in meetings, activities, Escalon Park Fete, and `Get out 
the Vote' efforts in the last election cycle. Mae was known as Mrs. 
Republican Woman in the Escalon community and served as a mentor to 
many with great enthusiasm and energy.
  Mae was preceded in death by her husband, Claude Robinson and son, 
Charles Alfred Robinson.
  She leaves behind three children: Colleen Woods (Fresno), Bonnie 
Tabor (Modesto), Carl Robinson (Stockton), and a daughter-in-law, Helen 
Robinson; two siblings: Gladys Eiland (Los Angeles) and Alfred 
Stapleton (Modesto); six grandchildren: Rick McCombs (Modesto), Cindy 
Brown (Fresno), Michael McCombs (Modesto), Diane Goin (Clovis), Cheryl 
Camacho (San Antonio, TX) and Robbie Robinson (San Angelo, TX).

  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring Mae Elizabeth Robinson for 
her accomplishments and contributions. The life of Mae Robinson serves 
as an example of excellence to those in her life, and her legacy will 
not be soon forgotten.
