                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ALCEE L. HASTINGS

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, September 9, 2014

  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Doris 
Krasick Goldberg Queen, on the occasion of her 100th birthday, which 
will be celebrated on September 28, 2014. She is a long-time 
constituent whose family I have known for more than 20 years.
  Doris was born on September 28, 1914 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 
In 1939, she married Lewis Goldberg and together they were the 
proprietors of a longstanding Philadelphia neighborhood grocery store 
and butcher shop called ``Lew's Thrifty Market.'' They had two 
children, Arlene Sockel (spouse Richard) and Robert Goldberg (spouse 
Hedy), four grandchildren, Bonnie Sockel-Stone (spouse Elliot, son of 
former United States Senator Richard Stone), Iris Sockel Mitrakos 
(spouse Steve), Lewis Goldberg (spouse Morgan) and Ellen Goldberg, and 
six great-grandchildren (Lily, Elizabeth, Jason, Stella, Ivy and 
Oliver).
  Following the passing of her husband Lewis in 1971, Doris married 
widower Jesse Queen in 1973. Together they retired to Lauderdale Lakes, 
Florida, where they shared many vibrant years together, enjoying the 
company of family and friends. Jesse passed away in 1992, but Doris 
remains active and engaged in her current home of Tamarac, Florida.
  It gives me great pride to honor Doris on the occasion of her 100th 
birthday. I wish her all the very best for many years to come.
