  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate a truly 
remarkable woman who is celebrating her 97th birthday, Mrs. Trellie 
Elizabeth Hartman. It is with great enthusiasm that I join her family 
and friends in celebrating this milestone and her many lifetime 
achievements that exemplify her Hoosier values.
   A native of Argos, Indiana, she worked on her family's farm where 
she gained a strong work ethic at a young age. Trellie took her work 
ethic and Hoosier values to Contra Costa College in California, where 
she earned a degree in nursing. For more than 35 years, she worked as a 
nurse and cared for others in need. Since her retirement, she has 
stayed involved in her community by volunteering for Kaiser Hospital, 
oftentimes working double shifts.
   Mrs. Hartman has been blessed with three children, nine 
grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren, and five great-great 
grandchildren. Although Trellie no longer lives in Indiana, she 
exemplifies what it means to be a Hoosier and continues to act as a 
strong role model for future generations.
   I want to sincerely thank Trellie for her service and recognize her 
unwavering commitment to the healthcare field. It is my honor to offer 
my sincere congratulations to Mrs. Hartman on this special occasion. I 
wish her a very happy birthday and many more years of continued health 
and happiness.
