  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Camille 
Cintofanti, an outstanding constituent from my district who will 
celebrate a remarkable milestone--her 100th birthday--on May 31, 2025. 
Born on May 31, 1925, to Joseph and Concetta Tommillo, Camille was 
raised in a loving Italian household rooted in strong cultural 
traditions. Her parents immigrated from Bari, Italy, bringing with them 
the rich heritage, values, and customs that would shape Camille's 
upbringing and lifelong sense of family and community. Camille was the 
second born of four children, and from an early age, she embraced her 
role with warmth. responsibility, and love. Her life stands as a 
testament to enduring love, strength, and devotion.
  On October 1, 1949, Camille married the love of her life, Joseph A. 
Cintofanti. A proud and decorated veteran, Joseph served in World War 
II, where he was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star Medal for 
his bravery and service to his country. Their marriage was filled with 
love, mutual respect, and shared values that built a strong and 
supportive home. Together, they raised two children: their son Joseph, 
Jr., who married Barbara Sibila, and their daughter Nancy, who married 
Gary Marchunsky. Camille has always been a devoted wife, mother, and 
grandmother. Her warmth and unwavering support have been the 
cornerstone of her family's strength and unity.
  Camille's many passions brought joy to those around her. She found 
great pleasure in gardening, where she created beauty with her hands 
and found peace in nature. Her love of baking, inspired by her Italian 
roots, filled her home with the comforting aromas of fresh bread, 
cookies, and traditional family recipes. Camille also had a vibrant 
social spirit--she found a love for dancing and never missed an 
opportunity to get on the dance floor. Bingo was another favorite 
pastime, where she combined her sharp mind with her love for fun and 
community.
  In addition to her deep dedication to her loved ones, Camille 
generously gave her time to the community. She was an active and 
beloved volunteer at both the Pennridge Senior Center in Perkasie and 
the Central Bucks Senior Center in Doylestown, where her compassion, 
energy, and cheerful spirit made a lasting impact. Her two 
granddaughters, Ashley and Alyssa, continue to be inspired by her 
example of kindness, strength, and resilience. As Camille turns 100, 
she is celebrated not only for her longevity, but for a life filled 
with joy, service, and unwavering devotion to family and community.
