Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to the amazing life and legacy of Ms. Barbara Salkin, who passed recently at age 94. Ms. Salkin was a leader, organizer, and friend to all, and she leaves behind a resounding tradition of unity, mentorship, and civic engagement.
Ms. Salkin was a true believer in the power of community and graciously dedicated her time, her knowledge, and her boundless energy into supporting and developing her own. She was an inextricable part of Montgomery County, MD, and her impact will remain woven into the fabric of its history. She used her unmatched understanding of the county to mentor generations of local and State leaders, investing in a brighter future for us all.
Above all, Ms. Salkin was a beloved mother, grandmother, great- grandmother, and friend. She blessed every person she encountered with the gift of her kindness, and I am grateful to have been one of those people. The outpouring of love since her passing is a testament to the impact she has had on so many.
condolences to Ms. Salkin's children, grandchildren, and great- grandchildren, and in honoring her tremendous legacy.
