                      IN HONOR OF SANDRA VOGELSON

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DONALD NORCROSS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, June 8, 2015

  Mr. NORCROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Sandra 
Vogelson, for her achievements, contributions, and her service to the 
people of New Jersey as a community leader and a health advocate. Mrs. 
Vogelson passed away at the age of seventy-three. Sandra was revered 
throughout her community and she will truly be missed.
  Sandra graduated from my alma mater, Camden County Community College, 
with a degree in Art, and dedicated her life to the community of South 
Jersey. She served as a member of Cooper's Ferry Development 
Association, where she was always seeking new ways to improve the City 
of Camden.
  Sandra founded a philanthropic event, ``Pink Roses and Teal 
Magnolias.'' This event raises funds to continue the fight against 
breast and gynecologic cancers. Over the years, ``Pink Roses and Teal 
Magnolias'' became a staple within our community, by raising tens of 
thousands of dollars for research and other clinical programs at the MD 
Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper.
  Furthermore, she took a keen interest in the education of New 
Jersey's young people. In 1992, Sandra established the Camden County 
College Foundation, and served on the board for the next two decades. 
Her leadership provided critical fundraising efforts for the college, 
allowing it to expand and serve as an exemplary educational institution 
for the students of Camden.
  Mr. Speaker, Sandra Vogelson was a pillar of society who lived a life 
full of virtue service. She left a great mark on South Jersey, and is 
survived three daughters, five grandchildren, and eight great-
grandchildren. I join the Camden County community and the state of New 
Jersey in honoring the achievements and the life of this extraordinary 
woman.
