                         Monday, April 5, 2021

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable hero, Mrs. Maotha Anderson McDaniel Robinson.
  Mrs. Maotha Anderson McDaniel Robinson was born January 29, 1920, in 
Avon, Mississippi. On Friday, January 29, 2021, a precious gift of life 
and love, celebrated her 101st birthday with her family and friends.
  From her humble beginnings in rural Bolivar and Sunflower Counties, 
Mrs. Robinson, along with her brother and sister, were raised on a 
system of integrity premised on the tenets of love, kindness and 
compassion imparted by their parents. Her parents focus was to instill 
a central moral compass that echoed the heart of the Good Samaritan and 
core ethical values encompassed in the importance of work, family, 
community and the love of God. Known for her kindness and willingness 
to assist others, Mrs. Robinson has devoted most of her life as the 
matriarch, not only of her family, but of her community as well as the 
oldest living female resident of the City of Shaw, Mississippi.
  Mrs. Robinson is a God-fearing Christian, a devoted wife and 
nurturing mother of eight children. She is the living embodiment of a 
woman of Proverbs 31:10. She is a woman after God's own heart, 
committed to her faith, her family and her friends. Her faithful 
membership of Poplar Grove Baptist Church and as a dedicated member of 
the Heroines of Jericho, has shown her as an upstanding pillar in the 
community.
  Mrs. Robinson remains the archetype icon and central foundation of a 
family that retains an unbreakable bond of love, honor, devotion,

commitment and encouragement for each generation. She continues to be a 
blessing to others through her impartation words of Christian advice 
and wise counsel to those in her company as a reminder of God's 
unfailing love for us all, and continues to enjoy the affection, 
appreciation, encouragement, love and respect.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Mrs. 
Maotha Anderson McDaniel Robinson for her dedication to serving her 
family, community, and state.
