                       Thursday, January 16, 2025

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. 
Catherine Sclafani Longabucco, an amazing constituent from my district 
who will be celebrating her 102nd birthday on January 29, 2025. It is a 
distinct honor to pay tribute to Mrs. Longabucco on this joyous 
occasion and to highlight the extraordinary life and contributions that 
endear her to so many in our community.
  Throughout her life, Catherine has exemplified a spirit of 
resilience, generosity and dedication and has been an integral member 
of our community. Prior to moving to Doylestown in 2021, Mrs. 
Longabucco raised her three children, Amelia, John, and Frank Jr., with 
her beloved husband Frank in New York.
  Catherine has six great-grandchildren and enjoys learning more about 
what they are doing in their daily lives. She is an avid sudoku player 
and challenges herself to complete one puzzle every day in between her 
volunteering at the Central Bucks Senior Center and playing Rummikub, 
mahjong and bingo. If you need to find Catherine, she is likely helping 
to set up for the bingo festivities.
  As we celebrate her 102 years of life, we are incredibly grateful for 
the positive impact she has made on all who know her.
