                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 24, 2015

  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of 
Roseann M. Schaeffer, daughter of Rosario and Rita Levero Frandanisa 
who passed away peacefully on July 28, 2015, in her home. Roseann was a 
1958 graduate of Niles McKinley High School and a 1962 graduate of 
Youngstown College, with a Bachelor's Degree in Education. She was 
employed for over 40 years as a teacher at Our Lady of Mount Carmel 
Catholic School in Niles, retiring in 2005. Roseann was a steadfast 
fixture in the Mt. Carmel community as a member of Our Lady of Mount 
Carmel Parish, taking on such roles as church lector, member of the 
Liturgy committee, Parish Anniversary committee, festival volunteer, 
Pep Club and Year Book advisor, and Monday Rosary group. She was also 
one of the original founders of S.I.G.N. (Service in God's Name), a 
preparatory program for confirmation students.
   She will be deeply missed by two brothers, Anthony Frandanisa and 
his wife, Theresa, of Niles and Angelo Frandanisa and his wife, 
Rosemarie, of Kirkland, Wash.; her nieces and nephews, Ann Genovese and 
her husband, Robert, Tony Frandanisa, Rita Kanareff and her husband, 
Kevin, Joseph Frandanisa and his wife, Karen, Renee Charawell, Jimmy 
Frandanisa and his wife, Carrie, and Bobby Frandanisa and his wife, 
Kelley; and many great-nieces and great-nephews. She was preceded in 
death by her parents.
   The residents of Northeast Ohio are known to be compassionate, 
community oriented individuals. Whether it was engaging in her Mt. 
Carmel Parish community, or cooking and playing cards as she so loved, 
Roseann was certainly no exception.
