                  RECOGNIZING THE LIFE OF SHARON SCOTT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JEFF MILLER

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 3, 2011

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. 
Sharon Scott, who passed away on February 24, 2011. Sharon was a 
tremendous public servant and valued member of our community, and I am 
honored to recognize her life of dedication and service.
  Mrs. Scott has been a long-time member of our Northwest Florida 
family. As a former council member for the town of Century, Florida, 
she served with both honor and distinction. Century, a small town in 
Escambia County with a population of less than 2,000, is well-known for 
its active politics and citizens. The town is full of local pride, 
exemplified by Sharon, who always let others know she was from Century 
and not from its bigger-city neighbor, Pensacola. Sharon was the 
consummate small-city council member, responding to those she 
represented as if they were an extension of her own family with a sense 
of humility required of those who serve their community.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am privileged 
to recognize the life of Sharon Scott of Century, Florida. My wife 
Vicki and I offer our prayers for her entire family. She will be truly 
missed by all of us.
