                       Tuesday, February 26, 2019

  Mr. PERRY. Madam Speaker, today I offer my heartfelt congratulations 
to Mrs. Ellen Greaney Jacobs, a resident of Dauphin County, 
Pennsylvania, who is celebrating 100 years young on Monday, April 1, 
2019.
  Mrs. Jacobs was born in Bound Brook, New Jersey, and moved to New 
Bloomfield, Pennsylvania with her mother, brother and two sisters after 
her father died. Ellen graduated from New Bloomfield High School and 
the Carlisle Commercial College. She married her husband of 69 years, 
Cyrus D. Jacobs, in Westminster, Maryland on September 24, 1938. Ellen 
has three sons, six grandchildren, and twelve great grandchildren.
  Ellen is an active member of the Order of the Eastern Star (Capitol 
City Chapter), Dauphin Middle Paxton Historical Society, Dauphin Middle 
Paxton Area Senior Citizens, and still delivers Meals on Wheels on a 
regular basis. She is a longtime member of Hope United Presbyterian 
Church in Dauphin, where she enjoys Christian fellowship, Bible study, 
and making Easter and Christmas candy. She enjoys playing pinochle with 
her card club, reading, gardening (especially her beloved roses), 
watching the leaves change in the fall and flowers bloom in the spring, 
and bird watching.
  I join Ellen's friends and family in extending my best and warmest 
wishes to her on this special day, and in celebrating her life and 
contributions to our great Commonwealth and Country.
  On behalf of Pennsylvania's Tenth Congressional District, I extend 
God's blessings and my heartfelt congratulations to Mrs. Ellen Greaney 
Jacobs on her 100th Birthday.
