                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 5, 2021

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mary Ida 
Oliver (Buccola) of Westminster, Colorado who will turn 95 on April 22, 
2021.
  Mary Ida was born on April 22, 1926 in Sopris, Colorado. Her 
childhood was spent as a true ``coal miner's daughter.'' In her teen 
years she sold WWII war bonds and spent time as Rosie the UN-riveter.
  Mary Ida married the love of her life, A.T. ``Bud'' Oliver, a WWII 
pilot. They have been together for over 73 years and have five 
children, five grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
  Mary Ida is a devoted wife and loving mother, grandmother and great 
grandmother. She is also a true Coloradan, living in this great state 
for her entire life. She is also an avid fan of both the Denver Broncos 
and Colorado Rockies.
  Celebrating ninety-five years is a tremendous milestone and should be 
celebrated. It is my privilege to wish Mary Ida a very happy birthday 
and wish her all the best in the future.
