          IN RECOGNITION OF MARIA GUADALUPE ``LUPITA'' AGUILAR

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. HENRY CUELLAR

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 3, 2022

  Mr. CUELLAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Maria Guadalupe 
``Lupita'' Aguilar.
  Maria Guadalupe ``Lupita'' Aguilar was born and raised in Laredo, TX. 
A proud daughter of a WWII Veteran and a farmworker turned seamstress, 
Lupita was taught about the values of community and service at an early 
age.
  Lupita honorably graduated from Nixon High School and Laredo 
Community College and made a career in the service industry--working in 
housing and health care spaces primarily focusing on servicing low-
income, Latino families throughout Laredo and Webb County.
  The biggest accomplishment of her life has been being a mother of 
four grown children who are in their late 20's and early 30's: Jorge 
``Georgie'' Aguilar, Jaime ``JB'' Aguilar, Lorena Aguilar, and Randy 
Aguilar. Watching them graduate from college, start a job and form 
their own families has been a blessing. Guided by her Catholic faith, 
positive mentality and optimism, Lupita has surmounted many challenges 
in the past including beating breast cancer twice.
  During her free time, Lupita enjoys spending time with her 
grandchildren, cooking and traveling when she gets the opportunity. She 
and her husband reside in Rio Bravo, TX--just blocks away from the Rio 
Grande--where they've lived for over 20 years.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing Maria Guadalupe 
``Lupita'' Aguilar.
