CELEBRATING THE 100TH BIRTHDAY OF GEORGENE MARIE TILLI MORAN

Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker. I rise today to celebrate an
extraordinary milestone in the life of a remarkable constituent from my
district. Mrs. Georgene Marie Tilli Moran, who has recently turned 100
years old.
Born on March 6, 1926 in Paterson, New Jersey, Georgene spent her
early years exploring nature while living on Garrett Mountain. She
attended Clifton High School where she met the love of her life, Jack
Moran, whom she married and spent nearly 64 joyful years prior to his
passing in 2012. After graduating, she spent her early career at
Schering-Plough before dedicating her time to raising her two children,
Barbara and Betty. Ever the caretaker, Georgene also spent her later
years taking care of her mother, Marie Tilli, who lived to 103 years
old.
Georgene loved her time as a homemaker while also pursuing her
passions of cooking and gardening. She was a true matriarch for her
family, always making sure they were welcomed home with a warm meal and
an inviting home. Additionally, Georgene spent a lot of her free time
volunteering, making sure to give back to the communities that her
family chose to call home. Her volunteer efforts include working with
the Catholic Church, children's schools, at the local libraries and
hospitals, as well as the Red Cross.
An avid reader since childhood, Georgene cultivated a true passion
for history during her moves to Chester Springs, Williamsburg,
Virginia, and in our community of Bucks County where she has resided
for the past 13 years. Her time in these crucial locations to our
Nation's early history helped to form a true love for our country,
which she and her husband Jack spent much of their downtime traveling
together. She and Jack also shared a love of golf, traveling often for
Jack's work in marshaling PGA events and his participation in golf
tournaments.
Now, in her 100th year of life, Georgene remains an incredible source
of energy and love, enjoying her time with her two children and two
grandchildren--Dennis and Kasey. Following her move to Bucks County,
she has continued to pursue her hobbies of reading, enjoying history
and novels, as well as attending family celebrations.
As we celebrate Georgene's 100th birthday, we honor her enduring
dedication to our community as a caretaker, steward, mother and a woman
of enduring faith and joy.
