Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District of the great state of Florida, I rise today to honor the life of the late Mrs. Mattie Mae Paul, a faithful servant of God, a community activist—who lived in the district for 57 years—a beloved mother and friend. I include in the Record the following proclamation:
Mrs. Mattie Mae Paul, an inspiration to all who knew her,
returned to school at the age of 59 fulfilling a lifelong
dream to further her education by earning her AA Degree in
Education; and
Whereas, Mrs. Paul, after her retirement from Saint Francis
Hospital following a 23-year career, went to work for Miami-
Dade County Public Schools at Henry E.S. Reeves Elementary
School; and
Whereas, Mrs. Paul was an active member of New Shiloh
Missionary Baptist Church for 40 years, where she was active
with the Mission Ministry, Music Ministry/Mass Choir, Usher
Ministry, Woman's Ministry and was an assistant Sunday School
Teacher; and
Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson,
a member of the United States House of Representatives,
representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida. am
honored to pay tribute to the late Mrs. Mattie Mae Paul, for
her commitment to God and her church, and for her dedication
and devotion to her family, friends and to our community.
