     WHEREAS, It is with great sadness that this House has learned of the passing of Alice

Boss-Altman, the beloved wife of Sanford Altman, the devoted mother of Geoffrey Boss and his

wife, Monica, Andrew Boss and his wife, Melissa, and Peter Boss and his wife, Megan, and the

doting "Nani" of seven grandchildren, Charlotte, Sydney, Morgan, Hannah, Teeden, Hayes and

Pippa, whom she loved dearly; and

     WHEREAS, Born in the City of Providence, a daughter of the late Raymond Costello and

Bessie Costello-Landrigan, Alice Costello grew up in Pawtucket and Narragansett, and was the

sister of John Costello and the late Elizabeth Ann Costello Sheridan, and the loving aunt of many

nieces and nephews; and

     WHEREAS, Mrs. Boss-Altman attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart, and earned her

degree from Garland College; and

     WHEREAS, In addition to making a warm and welcoming home for her family and

many close friends, Mrs. Boss-Altman was passionate in her devotion to numerous altruistic

causes including, serving as a board member of WaterFire Providence, and volunteering her time

and talents with The Met School, RISD Museum Associates, Providence Art Club, Meeting Street

School, as well as a panoply of mixed arts and educational organizations throughout her life; and

     WHEREAS, In her leisure hours, Mrs. Boss-Altman enjoyed time with her family and the

company of her friends. She was also a member of the Dunes Club, the Providence Art Club, the

University Club and Handicraft Club, and a former member of Point Judith Country Club, Rhode

Island Country Club, Agawam Hunt Club and Lyford Cay Club; and

     WHEREAS, Our thoughts and hearts hold great empathy and sorrow for the family and

friends of Alice Boss-Altman. The most fitting tribute to her would surely be a celebration of her

life, a life in which each and every day was lived fully and joyfully embraced. She will be dearly

missed and forever remembered by all who had the good fortune to be part of her glorious life;

now, therefore be it

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

Providence Plantations hereby extends deepest condolences on the passing of Alice Jane Costello

Boss-Altman; and be it further

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