EXPRESSING PROFOUND SYMPATHY ON THE PASSING OF LORRAINE D. LEBRUN

     Introduced By: Senator Frank Lombardo

     Date Introduced: September 19, 2017

     Referred To: Placed on the Senate Consent Calendar

     WHEREAS, It is with great sadness this Senate has learned of the passing of Lorraine D.

LeBrun, the beloved wife of Robert J. LeBrun for 64 years, and the loving mother of Jeanne

Courtemanche and her husband, Joseph, Robert J. LeBrun, Jr., Donna DiCicco and her husband,

Nicholas, and Valerie Jacavone and her husband, Peter Jr. She was also the cherished

grandmother of eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren; and

     WHEREAS, Born in Taunton, Massachusetts, Mrs. LeBrun was the daughter of the late

Aurele and Juliette LaFrance, and the sister of Richard B. LaFrance, and the late Norman

LaFrance and Aurele LaFrance. After sadly losing her mother at the age of thirteen, she had

devotedly taken on the responsibility of helping to raise her younger brothers; and

     WHEREAS, Mrs. LeBrun had attended the Chamberlain School of Retailing and until

her retirement, had been employed in retail at Jordan Marsh for many years; and

     WHEREAS, With a kind and loving personality, Mrs. LeBrun created and nurtured a

marriage that flourished and a home that was warm and welcoming. She was well-known for her

delicious cookies and assorted baked goods, which she was always generously willing to share.

She also enjoyed playing the organ, bingo, cross stitching, and knitting; and

     WHEREAS, Lorraine D. LeBrun always kept herself busy. She was benevolent and

generous, giving so much to others and asking very little for herself, and her kindheartedness will

forever be indelibly imprinted on the lives and in the cherished memories of her entire family;

now, therefore be it

     RESOLVED, That this Senate of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations

hereby expresses our deepest sympathies on the passing of Lorraine D. LeBrun. She will be

forever remembered as a devoted wife and loving mother and she will be dearly missed; 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 Mr. Robert J. LeBrun and Family.
