                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 3, 2015

  Mr. NORCROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Roberta Sandler a 
New Jersey native who is celebrating her 100th birthday on December 7, 
2015.
  Roberta was born on December 7, 1915, and was one of nine children. 
She was born and raised in Camden, New Jersey and moved to Brooklyn to 
raise her three children, Marvin, Paul and Lynn, along with her husband 
Max. After her husband's death Roberta went to work to support her 
family. After her time in New York, she moved back to the state she 
loved and has been a resident of Cherry Hill for the last 35 years.
  Age does not seem to affect Ms. Sandler, she still exercises every 
day; does all her own cooking and cleaning; and as a loving matriarch, 
insists on cooking at all family gatherings. She stays very active in 
the lives of her family including her 4 granddaughters Meridith, Jodi, 
Julie, and Jillian and her two great granddaughters Isabel and Andrea. 
She loves to sing, dance, and continues to keep up with current events.
  Mr. Speaker, on this momentous occasion, please join me in wishing 
Roberta Sandler a happy and joyous 100th birthday.

                          ____________________
