       WISHING BONNIE FAYE HADDOCK JACKSON A HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY

  (Mr. RUTHERFORD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RUTHERFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Bonnie Faye 
Haddock Jackson on the occasion of her upcoming 100th birthday.
  Bonnie was born in Kings Ferry, Florida, to Louis and Mattie 
Henderson Haddock on November 26, 1923. Bonnie spent her life investing 
in our community.
  Bonnie attended Eagle Academy in King's Ferry and Hilliard High 
School in Hilliard, Florida. She then met the love of her life, Fred 
Jackson, a U.S. Army officer, who served our Nation during World War 
II.
  Together, Bonnie and Fred raised a family and built a legacy in 
northeast Florida that is carried on by their 11 grandchildren, 19 
great-grandchildren, and 14 great-great-grandchildren.
  A steadfast steward of her faith, Bonnie has been a lifelong member--
that is 100 years of membership--at Ephesus Baptist Church in Hilliard.
  Her family values and dedication to those around her have earned her 
a reputation as a meticulous housekeeper, an amazing cook, a talented 
gardener, and a faithful and devoted matriarch to her growing family.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to have the opportunity to wish Bonnie a

happy 100th birthday from the floor of the U.S. House of 
Representatives.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Bonnie and her family for all they do to enrich 
our northeast Florida community. Her impressive legacy sets an example 
for all of us to follow.
  Mr. Speaker, God bless Bonnie in her 100th year of life.
