  Mr. RYAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Elizabeth 
Mary Kilpatrick (nee O'Connell), originally of Cleveland, who passed 
away at her home in Prospect Heights, Illinois this week at the age of 
82.
  Elizabeth was the beloved wife of the late Thomas L. Kilpatrick for 
56 years. The loving mother of Kevin (Patricia), Kimberly and Kerry 
Kilpatrick. Dear grandmother of Molly, Graham, Logan, and Chandler. 
Beloved daughter of the late Francis and Sue O'Connell. Adored sister 
of Dennis (late Bonnie) O'Connell, Patricia (William) Smith, Timothy 
(late Phyllis) O'Connell, and Suzanne O'Connell. Sister-in-law to 
Daniel (Barbara) Kilpatrick and Joanne (Jim) Mortensen. Loving aunt, 
cousin, and friend to many.
  Liz was a longtime member of the Buffalo Grove Garden Club, an avid 
shopper, and a serious holiday decorator. She was always proud to 
celebrate her Irish heritage and her Catholic faith.
  Mrs. Kilpatrick was a supporter of mine and was the great aunt to my 
friend and former staffer, Sean F. Lowe. My deepest condolences go out 
to Elizabeth's immediate family, the entire Kilpatrick and O'Connell 
families, and to all whose lives Elizabeth so deeply touched. May her 
memory be a blessing.
