                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 31, 2009

  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
life of Sally Crowe, the longtime House of Representatives Members 
Dining Room hostess. Sally passed away this July 12th at the age of 92. 
She began working as a cashier in the Longworth cafeteria in 1951, 
moving to the Members' Dining Room in the 1960s, where she remained 
ever since. In 2003, Sally received the John W. McCormack Annual Award 
of Excellence in recognition of her outstanding service to the House.
  Sally was extraordinarily devoted to her job and to the institution 
of the House of Representatives. I first met Sally thirty years ago. 
She was a warm, engaging individual who infused this House with Irish 
wit and wisdom. She was a wonderful example of the talented, 
professional and dedicated federal employees who serve their country 
with distinction and honor.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to the 
family and friends of Sally Crowe, as well as my greatest appreciation 
for her many years of service.
