  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Speaker, it is my privilege to recognize 
the 100th birthday of Lucille ``Lucy'' Levy.
  Lucille ``Lucy'' Levy was born in New York City on May 12, 1922. Her 
family moved to Long Island where she grew up and graduated from 
Lawrence High School. Upon graduation, she went to work as a model in 
the New York City garment industry. She met and married her dashing 
husband, Daniel Herman in 1941. They had three daughters: Nan, Marsha, 
and Laura; and were married for 43 years before his passing.
  Lucy worked with her husband in the family retail business, Sandra 
Post, for many years. She was also involved in charitable causes 
including Variety Children's Hospital and Temple Beth Sholom. She 
married her second husband, Irving Lovitt, and they were married for 22 
years until his death.
  As a centenarian, the history she has witnessed over the past century 
is quite remarkable. In her lifetime, 19 Presidents have served our 
nation, the global population has increased by nearly 6 billion people, 
and countless inventions from the airplane to the internet have 
launched us into a new technological era.
  Today, Lucy lives in Aventura, Florida and is keeping up with 
currents events, reading the newspaper cover to cover every day, and 
continues to be a devoted and loving mother, grandmother, and great-
grandmother. Countless individuals have been touched by the richness of 
the stories and memories she has shared throughout the years.
  I join Lucy's family and her Aventura community in wishing her a 
Happy 100th Birthday.
