                       Tuesday, December 13, 2022

  Mr. GUEST. Madam Speaker, it is my privilege to rise today to wish 
Ms. Eleanore Johnson a happy 100th birthday. While reaching 100 years 
is an impressive accomplishment, I am here to honor Ms. Johnson not 
only for her centennial birthday, but also for the life she has lived 
and the service she has given to others.
  Ms. Johnson was married to her husband, Howard, a World War II pilot, 
for 48 years. Together, they raised four daughters and now have seven 
grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Ms. Johnson began her 
career as a secretary and later worked as a teacher and librarian's 
assistant. She also dedicated time to being a stay-at-home mom while 
her children were young.
  In her retirement, Ms. Johnson has remained dedicated to serving her 
community, She has volunteered at Rankin General Hospital and Peachtree 
Retirement Center, and she has been a committed Christian her entire 
life. Additionally, she has served as a Sunday School teacher, Vacation 
Bible School Director, and church librarian, among other roles. Ms. 
Johnson also has a keen interest in politics and stays informed on 
national, state, and local matters as a lifelong Republican.
  It is my honor to recognize Ms. Eleanore Johnson for her many 
accomplishments and her dedication to Mississippi and the United 
States. I ask my colleagues in the House to join me in honoring 
Eleanore Johnson.
