    IN MEMORY OF REBECCA H. CAPUZZI, BELOVED MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 26, 2010

  Mr. ANDREWS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and memory 
of Rebecca H. Capuzzi, of Philadelphia who passed away on December 20, 
2009 at Jefferson Hospital after a brief illness.
  Born on April 22, 1922 in Philadelphia, she was the daughter of the 
late David Hoffman and Mary (Singerman) Hoffman. Mrs. Capuzzi is 
survived by her two daughters, Donna and Judy, her son-in-law, Bernard, 
and her treasured grandson, Brandon. She was the devoted wife of the 
late John Capuzzi, a well known art restorer in Philadelphia. Mrs. 
Capuzzi's appreciation for the arts was evident to all those lucky 
enough to know her. She encouraged her beloved grandson, Brandon, to 
learn about the importance of the arts and often brought him to 
cultural institutions and performances. She will be interred at West 
Laurel Hill Cemetery, Mausoleum of Peace, with her husband.
  Madam Speaker, Rebecca Capuzzi's commitment to her family should not 
go unrecognized. I express my deepest condolences to her family for 
their loss and pay tribute to the memory of this astounding individual.
