                JESSIE PATRICK CELEBRATES 100TH BIRTHDAY

  (Ms. TENNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jessie Patrick, 
who currently resides in South Carolina but spent most of her very long 
life in Oneida County, New York, in the 22nd District.
  On May 12, Jessie will turn 100 years old. Jessie grew up in nearby 
Yorkville with her sister, Bertha, and her two brothers, Matthew and 
Edward, both of whom served in World War II. She then moved to 
Whitesboro, New York, where she worked for General Electric, which was 
once located in Utica, New York, for nearly 30 years.
  Jessie became an active leader in the Whitesboro community, joining 
the Whitesboro Fire Department's Women Auxiliary, St. Paul's Church, 
and even owned a restaurant in nearby Marcy, New York, with her 
husband.
  Jessie has one daughter, Judy; two granddaughters; three great-
grandchildren, with whom she loves to spend time. Her family loves to 
travel and used to spend many weekends traveling to Boston to go deep-
sea fishing. When Jessie isn't deep-sea fishing, she enjoys cooking, 
cross-stitching, and gardening.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in wishing Jessie a wonderful, happy, and 
healthy 100 years, and many, many more years to come.
