                      Wednesday, November 14, 2018

  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of 
Christina ``Tina'' Condoleon, age 84, who passed away peacefully at the 
Hospice House in Poland, Ohio on Friday October 26, 2018.
  Tina was born on April 5, 1934, in Warren, Ohio to Harry and Athena 
Raphtis. She was a graduate of Warren G. Harding High School. In the 
late 50s and early 60s she worked as a clerk at the Trumbull County 
Courthouse in Warren. Tina was a member of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox 
Church in Warren. She enjoyed cooking, reading and doing word search 
puzzles, but most of all she treasured spending time with her family, 
especially her grandchildren.
  Tina is survived by her three children, John (Tricia) Condoleon of 
Howland, Harry (Holli) Condoleon of Algona, Iowa and Angela (Steve) 
Zervas of Cortland; her ten grandchildren, Kristin, Michael, Kurt, 
Caitlyn, Michael John, Nicholas, Gabriel and Laney Condoleon, and 
Christopher and Melena Zervas; her brother, Thomas (Aliki) Raphtis; her 
sister-in-law, Peggy Knotos; and a number of nieces and nephews. She 
was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Gus and James 
Raphtis; and husband of 49 years, Michael J. ``Mike'' Condoleon whom 
she married on August 18, 1963 and who passed away March 27, 2013.
  I know Tina is dearly missed among her family and friends. I extend 
my deepest and sincerest condolences.
