  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Ruth 
Irene Anthony, who passed away peacefully at the age of ninety on 
Sunday, February 14th, 2016, at her residence surrounded by her loving 
family in Fort Myers, Florida.
   Ruth was born in Warren, Ohio on Dec. 9th, 1925, to Daniel and Olive 
Webb McCormick.
   Ruth married Lee Andrew Anthony on January 3rd, 1945. They resided 
most of their lives in Niles, in northeast Ohio where they raised their 
four children. Ruth and Lee became residents of Fort Myers in 1989.
   Ruth is survived by her beloved husband of 71 years; their son 
George and three daughters, Sandra, Kathy, and Ruth along with 15 
grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; and 14 great-great-
grandchildren.
   Ruth will be greatly missed by her loving family, friends, and 
neighbors, not only in Ohio but in her home of Florida as well.
