                       Thursday, January 28, 2021

  Mr. RYAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in celebration of the 100th 
birthday of Mrs. Antoinette Delores Perry, of Youngstown, Ohio, who was 
born on February 4, 1921.
  Mrs. Perry was born in Matrice, Italy and came to the United States 
at the age of six. She is an alumna of Campbell Memorial High School 
and graduated from the Cleveland Metro Hospital School of Nursing.
  On June 26, 1948, Antoinette married the love of her life, Mr. 
Anthony Perry. They shared a strong bond, spanning just short of 69 
years of marriage. Mr. Perry passed away on June 8, 2017.
  Mrs. Perry is the loving mother of three sons, Domenic, John, and 
Anthony. She is also blessed with nine grandchildren, and six great 
grandchildren.
  Antoinette has four siblings, three of which have passed, that she 
dearly misses. She is blessed to have her sister, Mrs. Jane DeSanto, 
with her today to celebrate this milestone.
  A proud woman of faith, Mrs. Perry is a member of St. Dominic Church 
in Youngstown. With this in mind, it is no wonder why Antoinette was 
called to serve as a nurse for many years.
  I send my best wishes and warmest regards to Antoinette and her 
entire family on this momentous occasion. Mrs. Perry is the mother-in-
law to Massillon, Ohio Mayor Kathy Catazaro-Perry, whom I am proud to 
call a friend. I ask that my colleagues please join me in wishing 
Antoinette a very happy birthday.
