                      Wednesday, January 15, 2014

  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life of Ms. 
Margaret Massullo who passed peacefully of natural causes last month in 
the presence of her loving family at the age of 90. Margaret was born 
August 14, 1923 in Youngstown, Ohio to her proud and caring parents, 
Gabor and Elizabeth Vargo. Margaret touched the lives of everyone she 
came into contact with, and to those who knew her well, knew her as 
sweet ``Margie Marge.'' Marge enjoyed a life full of traveling, 
cooking, crocheting, politics, and most of all spending time with her 
family.
   Marge lived a successful life; some of her professional 
accomplishments included her notable work at the Seamless Pipe 
Department of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube during World War II, as 
well as her work with the Triangle Coat Factory. Known for her wealth 
of knowledge and true leadership, Marge was elected officer of the 
Bagnolese Ladies Club and the Saint Anthony's Italian Mother's Club. 
She prided herself in being an active Member of the ITAM Post along 
with three other veteran auxiliary groups at both a local and national 
level.
   Although the State of Ohio lost one of its matriarchs, her beautiful 
memory will continue to live on through the lives she deeply touched 
and inspired. I extend my deepest condolences to Marge's family. She is 
survived by her daughter Marguerite, sons Alfred and Ronald (Muzz), 
sisters Irene and Julie, her brother James, granddaughters Ronelle, 
Cara, Lauren, Genna and her five great-grandchildren. Marge was 
preceded in death by her beloved husband, Adolph, brothers Steve and 
Gabor, sisters Elizabeth, Rose, Goldie, and Julia along with her son-
in-law George.
   I have a very special friendship with her son Ron, and I know that 
he, as well as his other siblings, carry their mother's passion for 
life, her sense of justice for all our citizens, and both a 
lighthearted and joyous approach to life. Her legacy goes on! Marge was 
a very special woman and will be long remembered.
