  Mr. RYAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Bonnie L. 
Pittman, of Ravenna, Ohio, who passed away on February 16, 2021 at the 
age of 82.
  Bonnie was born January 2, 1939, in Gassville, Arkansas, to parents 
Floyd and Florence (McFarlan) Chambers. She married the love of her 
life, John, on February 15, 1958.
  Mrs. Pittman managed Tucaway Lake Campground with John, where she 
touched many lives and hearts. Bonnie was a member of the First 
Christian Church and enjoyed traveling. Most of all, she was a people 
person who loved her family and friends.
  Bonnie is survived by her husband, John, as well as her children Sue 
(Patrick) Pittman, Laurie J. Pittman, Jamie (Keith) Fletcher, John 
(Vicki) Pittman Jr., Roger (Gail) Pittman, her five grandchildren, 
three great-grandchildren, her sisters Blanche Hart and Betty Bell, her 
sister-in-law Jill Chambers, along with many nieces, nephews, and 
countless friends who she considered family. She was preceded in death 
by her parents and her brother Floyd ``Butch'' Chambers, Jr.
  I am proud to be friends with Bonnie's daughter, Judge Laurie 
Pittman. My deepest condolences go out to Judge Pittman, Bonnie's 
entire family, and to all whose lives she touched.
