  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life of 
long-time community member, Nancy Kay Young Placier.
  Nancy was born in 1936 in Modesto, California, to Jack and Lois 
Young. She went on to graduate from Downey High School and later 
attended Stanislaus Community College. In 1963, she married Philip 
Placier in San Francisco, California. Later, she and Phil became 
adopted parents to their three children, David, Tom, and Betsy.
  Throughout her life, Nancy has shown her passion for her faith and 
her dedication to service. For 40 years, Nancy volunteered with 
nonprofits such as Peralta Cancer Research Institute, Carol Ann Read 
Breast Health Center, and more, helping fundraise for breast cancer 
research and raising awareness about the disease. Nancy was also 
dedicated to her faith and was a member of the Presbyterian Church for 
58 years, even serving as a Sunday School teacher and Deacon.
  Sadly, Nancy passed away on January 18, 2022. Nancy is survived by 
her husband, Phil, her sons, David and Tom, her daughter, Betsy, and 
her grandchildren, Alex, Tyler, Michael, and Zariyah. She will be 
deeply missed by all who knew her. Please join us in honoring Nancy for 
her many contributions to our community.
