                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 8, 2014

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to recognize Mrs. Edna Farrell, a resident of Arbor Springs 
Health and Rehabilitation Center in Opelika. Mrs. Farrell was recently 
named the 2014 Ms. Alabama Nursing Home.
  Edna Farrell is a native of Brooklyn, New York. She is also a Cornell 
graduate and a retired nurse and was a member of the U.S. Cadet Nurse 
Corps. When she graduated from the corps, she had three Maltese crosses 
on her shoulders, a sign of high ranking. Her husband who fought in 
World War II and Vietnam, took the family from Brooklyn to Fort 
Benning, Korea and Honolulu.
  Mrs. Farrell was named Ms. Arbor Springs Health and Rehab Center in 
the nursing home's pageant last year. Farrell was named the 2014 Ms. 
Alabama Nursing Home this July during the pageant, which was held in 
Birmingham.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Mrs. Edna Farrell on 
her achievement and wishing her great success during her reign as 
2014's Ms. Alabama Nursing Home.
