  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dorothy 
Yelenchic, an amazing constituent from my district about to celebrate 
her 101st birthday. Dorothy was born in Broughton, Pennsylvania on 
February 7, 1923. Dorothy had three brothers and one sister.
  Dorothy attended school in Pennsylvania and worked at a drugstore 
afterwards. Following this, Dorothy worked in a bakery, which she 
loved, and still enjoys a sweet treat every now and then.
  Dorothy met and married her husband, Stephen, in 1947 after the pair 
met at a dance. Together, they moved to Levittown, Pennsylvania for 
Stephen's job at United States Steel Corporation and were among 
Levittown's original homeowners.
  They raised three children, Gary, David, and Carole in the Blue Ridge 
Section. Dorothy was a homemaker and enjoyed spending time with her 
family at Penn Warner Club, as well as shopping in Levittown Shopping 
Center with

her daughter and son. Dorothy was an excellent homemaker and an 
especially good cook, known for her soup.
  Dorothy now has one grandchild, Candice, and three great-
grandchildren, Valerie, Hannah and Dylan. Dorothy loves music, having 
engaging conversations, and is always happy with a good cup of coffee. 
To this day, Dorothy still loves polka music.
  As we celebrate her 101 years of life, we are incredibly grateful for 
the positive impact she has made on all who know her.
