5	born in 1952 to the late Edward and Betty Wilcox. She was a Pilgrim High School graduate and

11	special gathering spot for family and friends; and
12	WHEREAS, Elizabeth Fraser and her husband Robert Fraser met while they were
13	working at Kent Hospital. They were married for 39 years and raised their family in the Governor

15	daughters, Kelley, Heather and Megan; her son-in-law Michael Pigeon, Megan’s fiancé, William
16	Geoghegan, and her granddaughter, Lily Grace Pigeon; now, therefore be it
17	RESOLVED, That this House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island and
18	Providence Plantations hereby expresses its deepest condolences to the Fraser family on the
19	passing of Elizabeth Fraser; and be it further

1	RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and hereby is authorized and directed to
