I rise along with my colleague from California. Congressman DENNIS CARDOZA to pay tribute to the life of Alice Katherine Mattos Sanders of Merced. CA. who recently passed away at 110 years of age. Mrs. Sanders was an outstanding lady filled with energy. love and high spirits. She leaves behind a loving family including a daughterinlaw. six grandchildren. fourteen greatgrandchildren and twelve greatgreatgrandchildren. A strong matriarch born in 1897. Alice immigrated to America from San Jorge Island in the Azores in 1903 with her mother and brothers to join her father. Samuel Mattos. Alices father. was already in America working and saving money for the familys travels.
