          CONGRATULATING INOCENCIA JUSINO ON HER 90TH BIRTHDAY

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. JENNIFFER GONZALEZ-COLON

                             of puerto rico

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 28, 2023

  Mrs. GONZALEZ-COLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate one of 
my constituents Inocencia Jusino from Lajas on her 90th birthday.
  Mrs. Jusino was born in Lajas on April 15, 1933, to Juan Jusino and 
Laura Torres, the second daughter of six children. Her father took her 
out of school in the fifth grade to work in the fields, to help support 
the family. This gave her valuable life lessons, work ethic and the 
drive that she still has today.
  She moved to Brooklyn at the age of 19, speaking only Spanish and 
started working with the Ladies Garment Workers Union where she worked 
for the following 47 years.
  Mrs. Jusino married Miguel Angel Corales on May 14, 1955, and they 
had two children Edwin and Marilyn. Her family grew when her daughter 
married Philip and her son Annabell.
  She is the proud Abuela (grandmother) or as her grandchildren call 
her Vendo Vendo to Ina Marie, Mel, John-Michael, Jose, Genevieve, 
Bryant, Philip II, Kelly, and Sam. She is also a great-grandmother to 
Naylani, Leeland and Ava.
  Mrs, Jusino returned to Puerto Rico full time in 1995 and was widowed 
in 2003. Despite losing her husband, she has continued to be active in 
her church and community. She frequently travels and has never missed a 
milestone in her children or grandchildren's lives.
  I call on my colleagues to join me in congratulating Inocencia Jusino 
on her 90th birthday and wishes for continued health and happiness with 
her family.
