  Mr. BERA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. Almeda Lee 
Stanfield who celebrated her 100th birthday on December 16, 2023. Mrs. 
Stanfield is a proud mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-
great-grandmother, and leads a life of great service and care for her 
community.

  Almeda was born in Ferguson, Arkansas, grew up in Rochester, New 
York, and settled in Sacramento County in 1967. She is known to be a 
caring friend, neighbor, church leader, and civic volunteer, and her 
loving presence is known to be unmistakable in her community. 
Sacramento is lucky to have someone with such incredible dedication, 
sacrifice, and service to our county.
  Almeda's life of service and dedication is commendable and worthy of 
recognition. I want to extend both my gratitude and my best wishes to 
Mrs. Stanfield for her lifelong commitment to Sacramento and the entire 
Nation. Her commitment and care for those around her is highly 
remarkable. I ask that my colleagues join me in celebrating Mrs. 
Stanfield's outstanding life's work and wishing her a very happy 100th 
birthday.
