                       Thursday, October 2, 2008

  Mr. GALLEGLY. Madam Speaker, I rise in memory of Annetta ``Anne'' 
Evenson Oliver, whose dedication to the health care profession, her 
family, her community, and her country will be long remembered.
  Anne died last week. By her side were her husband of 42 years, Jerry; 
her daughter, Chrissy; and her son, Jason.
  After graduating from the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1962, 
Anne accepted a commission in the United States Navy Nurses Corps. She 
received an honorable discharge three years later with the rank of 
lieutenant, then served U.S. military veterans for the next 30 years at 
the VA Hospital in San Fernando and the Department of Veterans Affairs 
Medical Center at Sepulveda, in Los Angeles, California.
  After her retirement from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Anne 
became a nursing educator and, for the past 11 years, was a nursing 
supervisor at Simi Valley Hospital in Simi Valley, California.
  An active mom as well, Anne was a Girl Scout and Cub Scout leader and 
a team mom and nurse. She served her community as an original member of 
Neighborhood Council #3 in Simi Valley and a former board member of the 
Simi Valley Free Clinic.
  Madam Speaker, I know my colleagues join my wife, Janice, and me in 
offering our condolences to Jerry, Chrissy, and Jason and all who knew 
and loved Anne. Godspeed, Anne.
