	Date Introduced: May 05, 2022
	Referred To: Recommended for Immediate Consideration
1	WHEREAS, It is with deep sadness that this Senate has learned of the passing of Joan
2	Negris. She was the beloved wife of the late Major General Rocco Negris, United States Army;
3	and
4	WHEREAS, Joan Negris was born in Long Island, New York, the daughter of the late
5	Joseph and Marianna Margolis Prush. She graduated from North Providence High School and
6	shortly thereafter met, and married, the love of her life, Rocco Negris; and
7	WHEREAS, Mrs. Negris was a devoted mother and a fantastic “Army Wife” who was
8	capable of creating a warm, nurturing and loving home wherever she and her husband happened
9	to be stationed. After her husband’s retirement from military service, they resided in Shamong
10	New Jersey for thirty years. Upon his passing, she moved to Medford New Jersey, where she
11	resided until her passing. She was a great friend to many, had a kind and generous spirit and was
12	always available to assist new Army spouses as they adjusted to raising families amidst the hectic
13	military lifestyle; and
14	WHEREAS, Mrs. Negris leaves behind her son, James Negris and his wife, Janet, her
15	daughter, Anne-Marie Moccia and her husband, Bobby, and her grandchildren Alexandra
16	Moccia, Isabelle Moccia, and Robert Moccia, Jr.; now, therefore be it
17	RESOLVED, That this Senate of the State of Rhode Island hereby expresses its deepest
18	condolences on the passing of Joan Negris; and be it further

1	RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and hereby is authorized and directed to
2	transmit duly certified copies of this resolution to James Negris and Anne-Marie Moccia.
