                HONORING THE LIFE OF MAUREEN SCHEUERMANN

  (Mr. CARTER of Louisiana asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
of Maureen Rosary O'Donnell Scheuermann, who peacefully departed this 
world on the eve of her 90th birthday.
  Maureen's life was dedicated to love, devotion, and service.
  Her journey began as a secretary at Loyola University, where fate led 
her to the love of her life, Rags Scheuermann. Their union in 1959 
marked the beginning of a lifelong partnership, and her unwavering 
support defined the legacy of the Scheuermann family in New Orleans 
baseball. From the start of the Delgado Community College athletic 
department to her tireless leadership of Rags' New Orleans Boosters, 
Maureen became the beloved First Lady of New Orleans Baseball.
  Maureen's life of service extended to the city of New Orleans, where 
she worked for over three decades in various roles at city hall. Her 
dedication as a secretary to three mayors underscored her commitment to 
public service.
  Maureen's light touched everyone she encountered, and her ``MawMaw'' 
wisdom, faith, hope, and joy left a lasting mark on our hearts.
  Mr. Speaker, Maureen is loved and missed. May she rest in peace.
