                       Tuesday, October 11, 2011

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of 
Elaine Gawronski of Revere, Pennsylvania who passed away on September 
20, 2011 at the age of 71 after a courageous battle with cancer. As a 
public servant, Elaine was truly committed to the well-being of her 
friends and neighbors in Nockamixon Township.
  Having moved to Bucks County from Ithaca, New York, Elaine received 
her education in Southeastern Pennsylvania, graduating first from 
Germantown High School, and later from Temple University.
  A prominent member of her community, Elaine served both local 
government and community groups as treasurer for Nockamixon Township, 
the Palisades Republican Club, the Nockamixon Community Day Committee, 
and the Nockamixon Historical Society. Additionally, she served as 
Nockamixon Township Auditor and as Recording Secretary for the 
Nockamixon Planning Commission.
  Elaine's faith also played an important role in her life. She served 
as parishioner of the St. John the Baptist Catholic Church and as a 
member of the school's Home and School Committee.
  As a beloved family member, dedicated worker and loyal community 
servant, Elaine's life serves as an example to all of us. She 
generously dedicated her time and her efforts to enhance the quality of 
life of her family and community, and she will certainly be missed.
