  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the life of 
Dr. Doris Mitchell Oliveira who passed away on May 10, 2017.
  Dr. Oliveira was born February 9, 1934 to the late Dr. Joseph 
Mitchell, Sr., M.D, and Mrs. Vivian J. Mitchell. Her father was an 
obstetrician-gynecologist physician in Macon County, Alabama, and her 
mother was known for her work with the American Red Cross.
  Dr. Oliveira graduated from Tuskegee University College of Veterinary 
Medicine and was still working at the age of 83 when her health began 
to decline.
  She was a member of the Alabama New South Coalition, Tuskegee Chapter 
of Links, Inc., the Republican Party of Macon County and a past member 
of the Board of Trustees at the University of West Alabama.
  She is survived by her son Manuel Joseph Oliveira and brother, Dr. 
Joseph Mitchell, Jr.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in celebrating the life of Dr. Oliveira. 
She will be greatly missed.
