                        Friday, February 1, 2013

  Ms. HAHN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the memory of Jacqueline 
Scotti who quietly passed away on January 20, 2013 in her beloved San 
Pedro. Jacqueline grew up during challenging times in Europe. She was 
born on June 1, 1930 in Chalons-Sur-Marne, Paris, France. After World 
War II, she met her husband, a proud American soldier by the name of 
Sgt. Major Louis Mario Scotti. She arrived in the United States and 
created a loving home and life for her family. In 1958, she proudly 
became a citizen of this great Nation.
  She had many creative talents such as sewing, knitting, cooking and 
her favorite pastime of all, gardening. She was a strong advocate for 
our community garden which overlooks northwest San Pedro and she was 
always kind enough to bring homegrown tomatoes and zucchinis to my 
office. I was always fond of seeing her, whether she volunteered on my 
campaign or in my Council Office. She was a true lady and a valued 
member of our community.
  I was privileged to have called her a friend and I will always have 
fond memories of the legacy she left behind in San Pedro. Jacqueline 
Scotti is survived by her children, Eveline (Steven) Packer, Allen 
Scotti, Kenneth (Enza) Scotti, and Lionel Scotti, in addition to her 
many grand children and great grandchildren. She will be missed by her 
friends and loved ones.
