  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the memory of Mrs. Ann 
Trapp, for her many years of service and countless contributions to her 
community.
  Ann Trapp was born in Cleveland. In 1949, she graduated from the St. 
Vincent Charity School of Nursing. She went on to work as a registered 
nurse for the St. Vincent Charity Hospital for 34 years. During this 
time she was also a member of the American Lung Association for 
Practitioners of Infection Control, and a member of the Lung 
Association.
  Mrs. Trapp was devoted to many political organizations. She was a 
Democratic precinct committee leader and a member and ward leader of 
the Democratic Executive Committee. She was the recording secretary of 
the Parma Democratic Club. She played a role in several political 
campaigns in Parma and Cleveland and was named Parma Woman Democrat of 
the Year in 1990.
  Not only was Mrs. Trapp active in politics, she was dedicated to her 
church as well. She was a member of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic 
Church for more than 40 years and served as a Eucharistic minister 
there. She belonged to Legion of Mary, Catholic Daughters, and Just 
Friends. She was also involved with the West Side Irish American Club 
and the Women's Guild of St. Vincent Charity Hospital and was a member 
of their alumni association.
  Mrs. Trapp leaves behind 1 sister, 2 brothers, 4 daughters, 3 sons, 
and 15 grandchildren. She will be greatly missed.
