Bill > H7060

This resolution, a formal expression of sympathy from the Rhode Island House of Representatives, conveys deep condolences on the passing of Constance Petrarca, who died at the age of 100. The resolution highlights her life, noting she was the wife of the late Adolph J. Petrarca and a devoted mother to Representative Patricia Serpa and others, as well as a loving grandmother and great-grandmother. It also acknowledges her birth in Woonsocket in 1925, her academic achievements at West Warwick High School, and her membership in the "Greatest Generation," a cohort that experienced the Great Depression and World War II. The resolution further describes her as a frugal and tireless bargain hunter, a devoted homemaker who prioritized her family, a devout Catholic, and someone who enjoyed word puzzles and staying informed about current events. Finally, it directs the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of this resolution to Representative Patricia Serpa and her family.
