              RECOGNIZING LOIS WASHINGTON'S 100TH BIRTHDAY

                          HON. GEORGE LATIMER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, December 12, 2025

  Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Lois 
Washington as she celebrates her 100th birthday. It is my pleasure to 
join her family and friends in honoring the remarkable life she has 
led.
  Born on December 12, 1925, at Massachusetts General Hospital in 
Boston, Ms. Washington moved with her family to New York City at the 
age of five and she never looked back. Since then, she has proudly 
called our great city home. She grew up here, married here, started her 
family here, and has lived an extraordinary life in the greatest city 
in the world. Lois also worked for the New York Telephone company and 
retired after 25 years of hard work and service.
  As a resident of Co-op City, she is an active member of her community 
and a longtime member of the Co-op City Methodist Church. Although she 
is retired, that has not slowed her down, she watches the news, keeps 
up with current events, calls family and friends each day, and 
sometimes doesn't go to sleep until midnight, almost reverting back to 
her teenage self. She loves her shows and loves her family and the 
Bronx more. After many incredible years, Lois's contagious positivity 
and kindness is truly deserving of this body's recognition.
  Mr. Speaker, once again, please join me in wishing Lois Washington 
another year of good health and happiness as she celebrates the 
milestone of her 100th Birthday.
