                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 4, 2021

  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor long-time 
Willsboro resident, Lucia Emily Doud Wallace, as she celebrates her 
106th birthday on June 1, 2021.
  Lucia Emily Doud was born in Malone, New York on June 1, 1915, the 
youngest of six children. She attended the Fine Arts College of 
Syracuse University where she met her future husband, Edmund Whiting 
Wallace. The couple were married in 1938 and spent 74 happy years 
together. They raised two children, Marjorie Alison Wallace, and Dr. 
Cynthia Day Wallace. The Wallace family has shown tremendous strength 
of character and perseverance through the challenges that life has 
thrown their way, including the deaths of Marjorie and Edmund. Through 
it all, Lucia remained a steadfast light in the lives of those around 
her.
  In addition, Lucia is quite the accomplished artist. She was awarded 
the National Sculpture Award and studied under Lorado Taft, a renowned 
American sculptor. Lucia excelled at painting, sculpting, and is even 
an accredited national flower show judge. In her 106 years of life, 
Lucia's joy and wisdom have been a constant presence in her community 
and her artistic talent has brought much happiness to her family and 
friends.
  On behalf of New York's 21st Congressional District, I would like to 
wish Lucia a very happy 106th birthday. I wish her continued health and 
happiness in this next year of her life.
