  Ms. STEVENS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the special 
life of Florence ``Peggy'' Anderson, a notable leader in Michigan's 
11th District who passed away on June 6, 2020, at the age of 93.
  Peggy was born on June 25, 1926, in Sturgis, Michigan to Arthur and 
Margaret (Hetherington) Carls. Peggy was a graduate of Sturgis High 
School, from where she went on to work as a secretary with the War 
Department in 1943 and later with the Pontiac School District and 
Clinton Valley Center. She was a long-time member of the Waterford

Democrats, the DAR Waterford Chapter and the Michigan Mayflower 
Society, as well as a member of the Central United Methodist Church and 
the State Employees Retirees Association. She enjoyed flower gardening 
and making arrangements for her friends and acquaintances.
  Peggy lived a life filled with purpose and community, and she will be 
remembered by all who had the good fortune to know her as someone who 
showed up for what she believed in. She is survived by her children 
Thomas (Pat) Anderson of Petoskey and Robert (Marci) Anderson of White 
Lake; her grandchildren Christy Anderson, Ryan (Nikkia) Anderson, 
Russell (Theresa) Andersonning and Bradley (Hannah) Anderson; great-
grandchildren Noah, Claire, Emrik and Myrna; and many nieces and 
nephews.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in reflecting on the 
life of someone very dear to our Waterford, Michigan community, and to 
our greater Michigan family.
