     Referred To: House read and passed

     WHEREAS, Giemma M. Bauerle was born on June 19, 1916, to Francis and Philomena

Felicetti. The year she was born was a time of dramatic change for our country, WWI was

sweeping through Europe, inflation raised the average price of bread from 5 cents per loaf to an

outrageous 7 cents per loaf, and President Woodrow Wilson was narrowly re-elected President of

the United States; and

     WHEREAS, Mrs. Bauerle is a lifelong resident of the Town of Westerly. She was the

loving wife of the late George J. Bauerle, Jr., for fifty-seven years, and is the cherished mother of

Anne Marie (Bauerle) Hamelin, George J. Bauerle, III, and David F. Bauerle. She is also the

loving grandmother of Laurie, Karen, Chad, Sarah, Caitlyn and Brent, and the proud great-

grandmother of Adam; and

     WHEREAS, Giemma Bauerle's warm and caring personality created and nurtured a

marriage that flourished, and a home that was warm and welcoming. Her even-tempered

disposition and straight-forward nature made her the kind of mother that every child needs and

deserves, and her marvelous culinary skills satiated all who sat at her table; and

     WHEREAS, Over the years the Bauerle's home was often a gathering place for family

and friends and was shared for a number of years by Buzzy, the family's pet dog; and

     WHEREAS, Mrs. Bauerle was a member of the Calebrese Women's Auxiliary Society

and is a parishioner of the Immaculate Conception Church in Westerly; and

     WHEREAS, Mrs. Bauerle is the heart and soul of her family. Over the course of her

lifetime, she has enriched the lives of so many people with her spirit and love, and we are

honored to join in the joyous celebration of her 100th birthday; now, therefore be it

     RESOLVED, That this House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island and

Providence Plantations hereby joins the family and many friends of Giemma Bauerle in honoring

her on the very special occasion of her 100th Birthday. We moreover wish her and all the

members of her family good health and much happiness for many years to come; and be it further

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

transmit a duly certified copy of this resolution to Mrs. Giemma M. Bauerle.
