     Date Introduced: April 09, 2019

     Referred To: Recommended for Immediate Consideration

     WHEREAS, It is with deep sadness that this Senate has learned of the passing of Helen

F. Rose, the loving wife to the late Edward Rose, and the cherished mother of Edward Jr., and

Patricia Russell; and

     WHEREAS, Mrs. Rose was born in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, the daughter of the late

Mulligan; and

     WHEREAS, For the past thirty-seven years, Mrs. Rose had made her home in the Town

of Burrillville, and had previously been a resident of the Town of Cumberland, where she had

been employed at the former Healthtex Co. for twenty years, before her retirement in 1984; and

     WHEREAS, With a loving personality, Mrs. Rose had created a home that was warm and

welcoming. She doted on her family, particularly her grandchildren, Dawn Fiore, Sharon Barber,

Alan Russell and Heather Stockwell, and her nine great-grandchildren; and

     WHEREAS, Also devoted to her faith, Mrs. Rose was a member of the Rosary & Altar

Society at St. Patrick’s Church in Harrisville; and

     WHEREAS, There is no doubt that Helen Rose, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and

friend to many, 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 Helen F. Rose; and be it further
