                 CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF PATTY SCHRAMM

                                 ______

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 25, 2019

  Mr. KATKO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Patty 
Schramm, a cherished member of the Central New York community. A 
devoted student of her faith, Patty allowed religion to guide her as 
she strived to improve the lives of others. Patty will always be 
remembered as a compassionate, joyful individual.
  Patty was born in Omaha, Nebraska and later relocated with her family 
to Syracuse. She attended high school at St. John the Baptist Academy, 
then earned degrees from Syracuse University and Mercyhurst University. 
She used her knowledge to educate Central New York youth, working as an 
Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Education Program counselor for 
OCM BOCES and the Diocese of Syracuse Catholic Schools. This included 
time at Bishop Ludden Junior/Senior High School, Immaculate Conception 
School, Cathedral Academy at Pompei, and her alma mater St. John the 
Baptist Elementary School. Patty was admired at all these schools and 
influenced the lives of countless students throughout her career.
  Outside of her professional life, Patty displayed the same 
inspirational qualities. She brought a positive attitude and caring 
personality to her church and social gatherings. She truly knew how to 
lift people's spirits.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the House to join me in 
celebrating the life of Patty Schramm. She was a kind spirit who 
genuinely cared for the well-being of all she interacted with and 
worked to see them succeed. She will be dearly missed throughout the 
Central New York community.
