Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 75 (Wednesday, April 29, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 75 (Wednesday, April 29, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E386] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING THE LIFE OF MARY ANNE MULLANY ______ HON. JOHN JOYCE of pennsylvania in the house of representatives Wednesday, April 29, 2026 Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Mary Anne Mullany of Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, who passed away recently at the age of 94. A graduate of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, she went on to receive her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Neumann University before beginning her more than 40-year career as a Registered Nurse, including 20 years in the Neonatal Intensive Care Nursery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Throughout her time at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Mary worked to care for the most vulnerable. She spent long nights on her feet monitoring vital signs, carrying out life- saving procedures, holding children during their first and most fragile days, and comforting families as they navigated the challenges of caring for a child born prematurely. Mary cherished her six children, eight grandchildren, and two great- grandchildren, and dedicated her life to caring for others. She was a lifelong learner. Her passion for history and travel took her from Israel and Spain to the National Parks of the American West, always by the side of those she loved. She enjoyed attending the Opera, going to Phillies games, and solving New York Times crossword puzzles while sitting in her garden alongside her daughter, Mary. Today, please join me in remembering Mary Anne Mullany--a nurse, a mother, and a friend to all she knew. ____________________
