     Date Introduced: January 05, 2023

     Referred To: House read and passed

     WHEREAS, It is with heartfelt sorrow that this House has learned of the passing of Rosa

Fabiano, the wife of the late John Fabiano, and the cherished mother of our good friend and

colleague, State Representative, Dr. Arthur J. Corvese and his wife, Terry; and

     WHEREAS, Rose, as she was known to family and friends, was the only child of the late

Giovanni and Maria DiPompeo. She was a lifelong resident of the Town of North Providence,

where she resided in the home her parents had built when they married; and

     WHEREAS, As a proud first-generation Italian-American, Mrs. Fabiano had spoken

Italian at home and learned English in 1st grade. As a young girl, she developed a passion for

theater, and ultimately earned the highest drama honor during her senior year at North Providence

High School; and

     WHEREAS, Mrs. Fabiano doted on her family who were her "greatest love and proudest

legacy", particularly her grandchildren, Maria Lenz and her husband, Matthew, and Christina M.

Corvese, and her two beloved great-grandchildren, Alexander and Angelina Lenz; and

     WHEREAS, In addition to making a wonderful home for her family, Mrs. Fabiano was

employed in the Accounts Receivable Department of The Outlet Company for many years until it

closed, and subsequently worked as a Senior Operator at Blue Cross for almost twenty years

before retiring; and

     WHEREAS, An avid baseball fan, Mrs. Fabiano enjoyed cheering for her favorite team,

the New York Yankees. She was a fabulous baker and cook, specializing in La Vagilia on

Christmas Eve. She also loved to shop and read, delighted in everything chocolate, and all things

politics, which she most certainly passed down to her son; and

     WHEREAS, Rose Fabiano was the Matriarch of her family who has left an indelible

mark on the lives of those she knew and loved, and she is dearly missed; now, therefore be it

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

extends sentite condoglianze on the passing of Rosa Fabiano and wishes her family peace,

comfort, and courage at this difficult time; 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 the Honorable Dr. Arthur J. Corvese and

Family.
