                       Tuesday, November 17, 2015

  Ms. DelBENE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of my 
aunt, Mrs. Judith Davis Whitacre.
   Judy was born on today's date in 1936 in Cleveland, Ohio--the third 
daughter of Ruth and Powell Davis. She passed away on Thursday, October 
29.
   She was a loving mother, grandmother, and wife, and she constantly 
placed people at the top of her priority list.
   Through her life, she was a Head Start volunteer teacher, Northwest 
Opportunity Center volunteer driver, Dryden School PTA volunteer tutor, 
Cub Scout Den Leader & coordinator for Pack 129, and volunteer at the 
homeless shelter PADs.
   She also gladly helped out at church. Whether as church school 
teacher, couples group presidents with Jock, Elder, kitchen 
coordinator, or hand bell choir member, Judy was always willing to 
spend her time serving others.
   She enjoyed sailing, crafts, and traveling, but most of all she 
loved people. Judy will be remembered for putting others before herself 
and as a committed volunteer whose dedication has touched so many in 
her community. My heart goes out to Jock, Harold, and Tammy, Gregory 
and Kathleen, and their kids.
