EXPRESSING PROFOUND SYMPATHY ON THE PASSING OF ETTA MANOCCHIO

     Introduced By: Senators Lombardi, Gallo, and Miller

     Date Introduced: June 07, 2018

     Referred To: Placed on the Senate Consent Calendar

     WHEREAS, It is with great sadness that this Senate has learned of the passing of Etta

Manocchio, loving wife of the late Andrew Manocchio, the devoted mother of Lia Nero, Nicholas

Manocchio, Louis Manocchio, and Andrea Edwards, and the caring mother-in-law of Alan Nero,

Claudia Tocco, Mary Manocchio and David Flavin; and

     WHEREAS, Born in Providence, Mrs. Manocchio was a daughter of the late Francesco

and Raffaela Trabucco, and the sister of Amelia Tufano, George Trabucco, and the late Carmella

Cataldi, Vincent Trabucco, and her twin sister, Anna Trabucco; and

     WHEREAS, Etta Manocchio created a home that was warm and welcoming. She

cherished her family and was the very proud and loving "Grammy" of Alana Hender and her

husband, Timothy, Lou-Jon Nero and his wife, Lindsay, Ethan Edwards and his wife, Erin,

Sydney Edwards, and Andrew and Elizabeth Manocchio, and was the beloved aunt to many

nieces and nephews; and

     WHEREAS, Grammy doted on those around her, creating heart-warming memories of

"Grammy Soup", her famous baby-calming "bounce", playing games with the children, and

bountiful hugs and kisses. In her later years, she was blessed with great-grandchildren, Julia,

Brody and Cooper Hender, and Emory and Maizy Nero; and

     WHEREAS, There is no doubt that Etta Manocchio, a loving wife, mother, grandmother,

great-grandmother, and wonderful friend, left an indelible mark on the lives of those she knew

and loved, and she will be dearly missed; 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 Etta Manocchio; and be it further

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

transmit duly certified copies of this resolution to Lia Nero and Family, Nicholas Manocchio and

Family, Louis Manocchio and Family, and Andrea Edwards and Family.
