STEPHANIE TIMOTEO'S 100TH BIRTHDAY
(Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, Stephanie Timoteo, a resident of
Bridgeton in South Jersey, turned 100 years old on August 25.
Stephanie has always been an incredibly active person in her
community. She values faith, family, and heritage as the most important
aspects of her life.
She was born into a family of Polish immigrants, and in her
midtwenties, she became a seamstress and she made uniforms for soldiers
during World War II.
After the war, Stephanie spent most of her time with her children,
but she continued to work at home as a seamstress and a dressmaker.
Over the years, Stephanie has given her time as a den mother, a Girl
Scout leader, a Christ Child volunteer, a coordinator for the Polish
American Club, and many, many, many other roles. They are actually
countless.
Now she loves to crochet, read, and spend time with her seven
grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
Happy birthday to Stephanie. We are incredibly lucky to have her. May
God bless her. South Jersey is proud of her; New Jersey is proud of
her; and America is proud of her.
