  Mr. RYAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Anna Marie 
Teodosio who peacefully entered into eternal life on October 16, 2019 
while surrounded by her loving family.
   Anna was born to Mary and Giuseppe Tiano on February 5, 1928 in 
Derby, Connecticut. She grew up in Derby along with two sisters and 
eight brothers and attended Derby High School.
   Anna eventually met the love of her life, Alexander ``Al'' Teodosio, 
at a local dance celebrating the end of World War II. After a long 
courtship, Al and Anna were married on August 19, 1950 at St. Mary's 
Catholic Church in Derby, Connecticut. Shortly after their marriage, 
they moved to Brooklyn, New York and eventually Akron, Ohio, where they 
began their family. Their love grew and flourished throughout an 
adventurous sixty-five year marriage.
   Anna was a true inspiration and a beautiful human spirit to all that 
knew and loved her. Her passions were embracing her faith, spending 
time with family and friends, reading, playing Scrabble and card games, 
cooking, and rooting for Notre Dame football. She especially treasured 
preparing large traditional Italian Sunday afternoon dinners for her 
ever-growing family.
   Anna, with her beloved husband Al, raised five loving children: 
MaryAnne Cort (Bill), Thomas Teodosio (Linda), Carol Anne Peter (Dave), 
Robert Teodosio (Tina), and Alex Teodosio (Stephanie).
   She is survived by nine grandchildren, Christine Klaben, Kathleen 
Klaben (Dave Nulanz), Ellen Karns, Joseph Cort (Melissa), David Cort, 
Christopher Teodosio (Katherine), Alexandra Teodosio, Nicholas Teodosio 
and Joseph Teodosio. She is also survived by six great grandchildren, 
Emily Cort, Clara Cort, Charles Nulanz, Alice Karns, Charlotte Teodosio 
and Ava Teodosio; and by her beloved brother, William Tiano along with 
many close friends who knew her to be compassionate and caring through 
her faith and in her service to others. Anna was preceded in death by 
her parents; nine siblings; son, Alan; and granddaughter, Andrea 
Teodosio.
   I am very proud to be a friend of Anna's son, Judge Thomas Teodosio, 
and her daughter-in-law, Judge Linda Tucci Teodosio. Anna touched many 
lives, and I extend my deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved 
her. She will be greatly missed.
