Bacon; and

     WHEREAS, Born in the City of Pawtucket, Mrs. Bacon was the daughter of Clara Anjos

and Arlindo Anjos, and the sister of her late twin brother, David Anjos, and his widowed wife,

Kathy. She had resided in the Town of Cumberland for many years and was a graduate of

Cumberland High School; and

     WHEREAS, With a loving personality, Mrs. Bacon created and nurtured a marriage that

flourished, and a home that was warm and welcoming. She doted on her family, particularly her

grandchildren Alina and Lucas, who were the light of her life, and her many nieces and nephews;

and

she diligently worked as a trusted bookkeeper; and

     WHEREAS, As a woman of great faith, Mrs. Bacon was committed to “serving the

Lord”, “to God’s Word”, to “the ministry”, and devoted to her church. In addition to

bookkeeping, she was a dedicated Women's Ministry Leader for more than twenty years; and

     WHEREAS, Mrs. Bacon also enjoyed cooking and baking “the most delectable meals

and sweetest treats” for her family and friends. Her compassionate nature extended to all around

her, always providing sage advice, a shoulder to cry on, and infectious optimism; and

     WHEREAS, Gina Bacon was a beloved daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and friend

and the most fitting tribute to her beautiful soul is a celebration of her life, and although she will

be dearly missed, she will always be in the hearts and treasured memories of her family and many

friends; now, therefore be it

     RESOLVED, That this Senate of the State of Rhode Island hereby extends deepest

sympathy and condolences on the passing of Gina Marie Bacon; and be it further

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