                          HONORING ANNE SAMSON

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MARK MEADOWS

                      Wednesday, October 28, 2015

  Mr. MEADOWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the legacy of 
Anne Samson. Anne was a selfless philanthropist who dedicated her life 
to serving her family and community.
  A daughter of Hungarian Holocaust survivors, Anne was a devoted wife, 
mother, grandmother, and friend. Anne's love for Israel and the Jewish 
people illuminated much of her work. Anne and her husband, Lee, 
actively served within the Jewish community and volunteered in Israel 
following the Six-Day War.
  Anne's philanthropy and selflessness touched many families, 
synagogues, and organizations. In her memory, the Samson family has 
helped establish the Anne Samson Memorial Fund which will provide 
assistance to the Jerusalem Journey summer program, in which hundreds 
of public school students have their very first Israel experience.
  Anne's life demonstrated that it is often the quiet leader who is the 
most impactful. She led by example, motivated by her strong convictions 
and Jewish faith. Beloved by her family and community, Anne's legacy 
lives on in her children and grandchildren who carry on her 
graciousness, hospitality and dedication to service. It is my honor to 
commemorate Anne Samson's memory today.
