             HONORING THE MEMORY OF TRACIE ALEXANDER GOLDEN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RASHIDA TLAIB

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 31, 2023

  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in memory of Tracie Alexander 
Golden, a mother, wife, tireless community advocate, healthcare 
provider, and fearless SEIU Union leader from Michigan's 12th District 
Strong as our community mourns her recent passing.
  Tracie was a respiratory therapist who dedicated her life to helping 
people with severe health issues. As she spent countless hours at the 
hospital, working long shifts and saving lives, Tracie never once 
complained about the toll it took on her own health. She truly believed 
that her calling was to serve others, and she did so with a heart full 
of love and empathy. She was a selfless and compassionate woman who 
always put the needs of her patients and her family before her own.
  Tracie's advocacy, impact and care for others was profound not only 
amongst her family and loved ones but also towards her patients and 
community. Tracie's acts of service were boundless, and she never shied 
away from showing up for others. Her passionate and caring spirit will 
no doubt live on through her family and those that she served and those 
that she cared for at Sinai Grace Hospital.
  Tracie's sudden and tragic passing is truly a loss to our district 
and community. Her memory will forever be preserved in the work she led 
for others and the commitment she showed in service.
  Please join me in honoring the life of Ms. Tracie Alexander Golden 
and extending our deepest condolences to the Golden family on her 
tragic loss. The 12th Congressional District honors her life and 
legacy.
