CONGRATULATING CHARLES AND SHERRY DOBIS ON THEIR 50TH WEDDING
ANNIVERSARY
______
HON. KENNY MARCHANT

in the house of representatives
Friday, July 24, 2020
Mr. MARCHANT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Charles and
Sherry Dobis on their 50th wedding anniversary. July 25th marks five
decades of devoted matrimony for these two esteemed citizens of Irving,
Texas.
Originally from Gary, Indiana, ``Chuck'' and Sherry married in their
hometown, and have since accompanied each other on a journey of
personal and professional accomplishments.
In 1971, Chuck graduated from the School of Pharmacy at Purdue
University where he was a member of Pi Kappa Psi. For the past 49
years, he has been licensed to practice pharmacy in Indiana,
Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. Throughout his distinguished career,
he has assumed a variety of leadership

roles which include President of the St. Joseph County Pharmacist
Association; Chairman and President of the Indiana Pharmacist
Association (IPA); founding Chairman of the IPA PAC; and Chairman and
Treasurer of the American Pharmaceutical Association (AphA) PAC.
In 1979, Sherry also graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor
of Science degree, and continued to enhance her qualifications through
a program at the South Bend Medical Foundation. Seeking to further her
studies, she obtained her Masters in Public Administration (MPA, '90)
from Indiana University where she was involved in the Pi Alpha Alpha
honor society. Sherry's professional roles have been extensive. Over
the span of her fruitful career, she has served as a Medical Tech. at
Mishiana Community Hospital, Lab Director at LaPorte Hospital, Lab
Administrator at Parkview Hospital in Vicksburg, MS, Senior Director
for Laboratory, Respiratory and Business services at VHA in Dallas, and
Vice President for Business Development at Health Network Laboratories
in Allentown, PA.
Chuck and Sherry are now semi-retired, but they remain actively
involved in the Catholic community and enjoy travelling, reading,
gardening, crafting, orchestra and fly tying/fishing. They are also the
proud parents of Diane Dobis and loving grandparents of Anthony,
Christina, and Vivian Dobis, all of whom reside in Irving, Texas. As
Chuck and Sherry's journey continues to unfold, may their commitment to
one another continue to serve as an example of how love and dedication
can enrich our lives.
Madam Speaker, I ask all my distinguished colleagues to join me in
recognizing this noteworthy milestone, the 50-year wedding anniversary
of Chuck and Sherry Dobis.
