                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JEFF DUNCAN

                        Friday, August 27, 2021

  Mr. DUNCAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 100th 
birthday of Ms. Sue Lott. Throughout her life, Ms. Lott has seen 18 
different presidents and many changes in the world. Growing up during 
the Great Depression, Ms. Lott learned the importance of simplicity and 
hard work, where many of her days were spent tying strings around June 
bugs for fun and picking butter beans with her sister to trade for ice 
cream. Other days, she would

work with her family all day to make a mere 50 cents. Ms. Lott worked 
as a seamstress as she grew older, and during World War II, she was one 
of many women who kept the country going while the men served in the 
war. She worked for many years at Regal Mills, sewing diapers.
  Although Ms. Lott never had her own children, her many nieces and 
nephews and members of the community consider her to be a mother and 
grandmother. She is an active member of Providence Baptist Church in 
Hodges, SC, and her love for others and the Lord radiates around her 
wherever she goes. Ms. Lott loves to cook, garden, and read a good 
book. Throughout the isolation of the pandemic, Ms. Lott's main source 
of joy and comfort was reading. She lived most of her adult life in 
Greenwood, SC, and has since returned to her birthplace, as a resident 
of Saluda Nursing Home. Her impact is seen everywhere in the community, 
and I am proud to represent and serve constituents as impactful as 
those like Ms. Sue Lott.
  On behalf of the Third District of South Carolina, I would like to 
wish Ms. Sue Lott a very happy 100th birthday and thank her for her 
many dedicated years to our community.
