                     Wednesday, September 14, 2016

  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an 
extraordinary woman. Josephine Covelli will celebrate a 90th birthday 
on September 30th, 2016. Josephine, or ``Jo'' as she is known to her 
family and friends, has been a fixture in her community for many years. 
Her passionate service has extended to the Trumbull Mobile Meals 
program, children's rehabilitation in Warren, Ohio as well as the 
Hibiscus House in Stuart. Beyond that Josephine has been heavily 
involved with her time, as well as through generous financial 
contributions in all children's services at Blessed Sacrament and JFK.
   Along with service to her community, Jo knows how to relax. She has 
won more awards than anyone else in the history of the Trumbull County 
Country Club and has been highlighted in the papers for winning more 
tournaments than anyone else in the Valley--including two wins in the 
Amateur Ladies Professional Golf Association (LGPA).
   Josephine is loved by her family and all those who are lucky enough 
to know her. In addition to thanking her for her service to our 
community, I would like to wish her the most wonderful 90th birthday 
surrounded by family and friends. We are a better community because of 
the great work of Josephine Covelli.
