Bill > H5040

This resolution honors the life of Saysomboun Phivilay, a Laotian immigrant who passed away and was deeply valued by her family and community. Born in Thakhek, Laos, as the youngest of nine siblings, she married Khamsing Phivilay in 1975 and immigrated to the United States in 1980, initially settling in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, and later moving to Providence. The resolution highlights her devotion to her family, including her husband of fifty years, her daughter Phanida (who is married to Alan Rudolph), and her grandchildren. Mrs. Phivilay is remembered as a gentle soul who created a warm, welcoming home, maintained Laotian culinary traditions, and cherished her family deeply. The Rhode Island House of Representatives formally extends condolences to her family and instructs the Secretary of State to transmit an officially certified copy of the resolution to her husband Khamsing and her daughters Phanida and Alina and their respective families, acknowledging her significant personal contributions and the love she shared with her family.
