                  IN RECOGNITION OF LULA BELLE WILSON

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 5, 2012

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. Lula Belle 
Wilson for her contributions to the local community. A resident of Long 
Branch, New Jersey, Mrs. Wilson has selflessly dedicated much of her 
life to others.
  A dedicated mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Lula Belle 
Wilson has been a member of the Second Baptist Church in Long Branch 
for over 60 years. Mrs. Wilson has led a life inspired in many ways by 
her devotion to her faith. A native of Cordele, Georgia, Lula Belle 
Wilson moved to New Jersey where she became a member of the Second 
Baptist Church in 1950. Since that time, Mrs. Wilson has been actively 
involved with the church. This includes her tenure as president of the 
church's Carnation Club, president of the Seacoast Usher Union, vice-
president of the Kitchen Circle, and president of the Senior Usher. For 
over 60 years, Lula Belle Wilson has been a devoted member of the Long 
Branch community and the Second Baptist Church. Her faith has led her 
through good times and bad, and Lula Belle Wilson continues to share 
her faith and positive demeanor with members of her church and 
community. It is with great joy that I am able to join with the Second 
Baptist Church in honoring Lula Belle Wilson's over 60 years of 
service.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in leading this body in recognition of 
Lula Belle Wilson. Her active role with the Second Baptist Church and 
the community of Long Branch make Mrs. Wilson truly deserving of this 
body's recognition.
