HONORING MRS. BOBBYE MAGGIO
______
HON. STEVEN M. PALAZZO
of mississippi
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, July 26, 2022
Mr. PALAZZO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the outstanding work and dedication of Mrs. Bobbye Maggio. Bobbye Maggio was born and raised in Batesville, Mississippi. She graduated from Saint Joseph Catholic School in Madison, Mississippi, and then attended the Providence School of Nursing in Mobile, Alabama.
In her senior year of nursing school, she met the late Dr. Henry A. Maggio, whom she married upon her graduation. They were married for 58 years, and together they raised their four children--Shannon, Melissa, Stephen, and Michael--in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Today, Bobbye is the proud grandmother to 16 grandchildren and the great-grandmother to 4 great-grandchildren.
Bobbye was instrumental in founding Our Lady Academy Catholic School in 1971, the only all-girls private school in the state of Mississippi. She deeply believed in the importance of Catholic education for girls so that they may learn Catholic Christian morals and values and achieve their full academic and personal potential.
Bobbye has a long history of public and community service to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. She was a founder of the Junior Auxiliary of Hancock County and is involved in local Bible studies, church groups, and youth retreats. Additionally, Bobbye is a member of the all-women Krewe of Nereids, which has grown into one of the largest Carnival organizations on the Mississippi Gulf Coast today.
Bobbye is a longtime Republican activist. She has campaigned for local Republican government officials and participated in local elections.
Today, we recognize Mrs. Bobbye Maggio for her outstanding service to the Republican Party, Hancock County, and the State of Mississippi.
