                         Tuesday, June 17, 2014

  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember and honor the 
exemplary life of Antonette ``Toni'' Landolfi, 85, of Niles, who passed 
away peacefully earlier this year with her son and daughter by her 
side.
   She was a member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church in 
Niles, a founder of the Tri-County Association of Nursing Home Social 
Workers, past President of the American Committee on Italian Migration, 
and an active member of the local Democratic Party, among many other 
community organizations.
   Toni was honored numerous times for her outstanding service, 
including her work with the Diocese of Youngstown. For her work in 
Democratic politics she received the Joseph A. Marino Democrat of the 
Year Award. She was recognized for her community activism by the Ohio 
House of Representatives for her dedication to Shepherd of the Valley 
and she received the Carmen DeChristofaro Service Award for all she did 
to better the lives of the people of Niles.
   Toni enjoyed entertaining and hosting gatherings at her home and 
backyard pool where she took great pleasure in feeding and serving all 
who visited.
   Preceded in death by her husband Gregory A. Landolfi, Toni will be 
deeply missed by her daughter Jennie Louise Landolfi of Niles, her son 
Attorney John Louis Landolfi, his wife Christina and her three 
grandsons, Johnny, Dante and Marco Landolfi of Columbus, her siblings 
Pete Cervone of Austintown, Pat Bonanno and Rose (Dominic) Sarno of 
Niles, her sisters-in-law Rose Raschilla of Youngstown and Mary Jane 
(Jim) Botsko of Gallatin, TN, many nieces and nephews and her beloved 
neighbors.
   Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pride to honor the life of Toni 
Landolfi. I will always remember the tremendous support she provided to 
me throughout my career. She had class and lived with a deep and 
abiding faith and an amazing Grace. I extend my most sincere 
condolences to Toni's entire family. Her contributions to this 
community will not be forgotten. Northeast Ohio is a better place 
because of her service and her life.
