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

J. Amore, beloved wife of the late John Amore, and the cherished mother of Jennifer Amore Voll

and her husband, Chris, and our good friend and colleague, the Honorable Gregg Amore and his

wife, Lee; and

     WHEREAS, A lifelong resident of the City of East Providence, Mrs. Amore was a

daughter of the late Robert and Ursula Shadrick, and the sister of Robert Shadrick and his wife,

Midge, David Shadrick and his wife, Mary, and the late Diane Murphy. She was a proud graduate

of East Providence High School and The Katherine Gibbs School; and

     WHEREAS, With a beaming smile, and a kind and loving personality, Mrs. Amore

created and nurtured a marriage that flourished, and a home that was warm and welcoming to all.

She doted on her family, particularly her grandchildren, Grace Voll, John Voll, Tess Amore,

Megan Amore and Slade Sharma, and her many nieces and nephew. She took great joy in sharing

many "Grandmother adventures" with her grandchildren and never missed any of their myriad

activities; and

     WHEREAS, In addition to making a wonderful home for her family, Mrs. Amore had

been employed as an Administrative Assistant with the East Providence School System for 23

years. She was a lifelong Democrat, and a founding and active member of the Wampanoag

Women's Club; and

     WHEREAS, Nancy Amore possessed a nurturing soul that could light up a room. She

was "unconditionally loving, fiercely loyal and strong willed" and blessed with many devoted and

close friends. She was also an accomplished painter, an avid reader, and loved going to the beach

and traveling with her family; and

     WHEREAS, Nancy Amore "lived her life to the fullest with a perfect combination of

grace, dignity and style." She left an indelible mark on the lives of those she knew and loved, and

she will always be dearly remembered and forever missed; now, therefore be it

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

condolences to the bereaved family and friends of Nancy J. Amore and hopes that the sadness in

their hearts will be replaced by warm memories of sweet moments that will comfort them in the

days ahead; and be it further

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

transmit duly certified copies of this resolution to Jennifer Amore Voll and Family, and the

Honorable Gregg Amore and Family.
