  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the life of 
Maureen ``Maggie'' Hagan, 74, who died peacefully on November 6, 2018 
surrounded by her family.
  Maggie was a teacher in Warren City schools for 38 years, where she 
was an active

union member. After retiring, she moved from Youngstown to Cleveland. 
She traveled extensively, frequenting Italy and Florida. She loved to 
dance, and her passion for dancing was contagious. She made friends 
wherever she went, and she never turned down an invitation to a party. 
Maggie was a staunch advocate for human rights and a political 
firebrand who remained firm in her convictions.
  She is survived by her daughter Maura George (Bryce Kujat); son 
Michael George (Amber Pompeii); grandchildren Francis and Harriet; twin 
sister, Katie (Jim Armaline); five other sisters, Annie (Tom Carney), 
Elaine, Monica, Sue (Kim Korver), Mary Therese (Denise Reynolds); and 
seven brothers, Jim (Fiona Young), Tim (Mama Negrelli), Bill (Mary 
Mcatee), Bob (Michele Lepore-Hagan), Jack (Noreen O'Malley), Chris 
(Laureen McGarry), and Jeff (Marcia Egbert). She was also a beloved 
aunt to 27 nieces and nephews and 27 great nieces and great nephews.
  I had the immense please of knowing Maggie. I always loved seeing her 
at political or union events. She believed in the power of labor 
unions. She believed in the power of education. While she may be gone, 
her spirit lives on. She inspired us to use our lives to make a 
difference in people's lives. And we will always keep her memory close 
to our hearts.
