                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 12, 2021

  Mr. BRENDAN F. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, it is my honor 
to ask the House of Representatives to join me in honoring the life of 
Ethel Fran Eddy, a Holocaust survivor, who passed away on Saturday, 
August 28, 2021 at the age of 82 years old.
  Ethel was less than a year old when World War II began. She and her 
family were forced to flee Govorovo, Poland to escape the Nazis. They 
fled to Siberia for the remainder of the war. Two of her brothers were 
tragically killed by the Nazis while studying at Yeshiva.
  Once the war ended, Ethel and her family managed to make it to Paris, 
where her mother tragically passed. After being denied entry into 
Israel by the British, they eventually came to the United States 
through Brooklyn, New York.
  Ethel dreamed of becoming a Rockette and living the American Dream. 
She and her first husband had three children and resettled in the South 
Jersey area. She later married George H. Eddy.
  She later graduated from Temple University with a degree in Business. 
She taught Hebrew school and worked as a saleswoman for her husband's 
stationery supply company, selling to college bookstores. Later, 
following her retirement, Ethel moved to Del Ray Beach, Florida.
  She is survived by her children Laura Goldman, Jeffrey Goldman, Kevin 
Broadie, Barry Goldman and Jean Goldman, as well as her grandchildren, 
Theodore and Benson Goldman, and Zoe, Lucas and Dylan Broadie Goldman.
  I ask that my colleagues in the House take this opportunity to 
celebrate Ethel's life and legacy, and I offer my best wishes to her 
family during this difficult time.
