                        Wednesday, April 2, 2014

  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the remarkable 
life of Jeannette M. Fortunato, who passed away on January 24, 2014, at 
the tender age of eighty. Jeannette was born on May 12, 1933, in 
Youngstown, Ohio, to Steve and Edith Glazzy. Jeanette enjoyed cooking 
and bird watching, but most of all, she loved the time she spent with 
her family.
   Jeannette led an exemplary life of service and dedication. She was a 
member of New Life Lutheran Church in Liberty, where she taught as a 
Sunday School Teacher and later joined Zion Lutheran Church. Not only 
did Jeannette touch the lives of those in the church community, she was 
incredibly loved by her family and friends.
   Jeannette has joined her loving parents, Steve and Edith. She will 
be missed by a countless number of people in the community, and most of 
all by her husband of 58 years, Louis Fortunato, Jr., her children, 
Louis Fortunato III, David Fortunato and Lee Ann Fortunato-Heltzel, her 
grandchildren, Lynn, Rich, Nick, Chris, and Danielle, her great-
grandson, Landon, her sister, Betty Schumacher, and her brother and 
sister-in-law, Steve and Dorothy Glazzy.
   Jeannette was an extraordinary woman, and will live on in the hearts 
and minds of those she has touched. The state of Ohio lost an 
outstanding citizen and her community will miss her dearly.
