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

L. Denier-Rhodes, the devoted wife of David Rhodes. She was born in French Camp, California,

to Gregory Schnaible and Norma Moen, and as a toddler, was adopted by Harry Denier; and

     WHEREAS, Tammy Denier-Rhodes was a hard-working woman who strove daily to

provide for her family and loved ones. She worked for many years at H&R Block in both

Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and later for Elite Physical Therapy, an Ivy Rehab Network

partner in North Smithfield. She was a tireless worker who made a positive impact on all of the

customers and patients she encountered and served throughout her distinguished professional

career; and

     WHEREAS, In addition to her husband, David, Mrs. Denier-Rhodes leaves behind her

children, Michael Hoff and his wife, Julia, David Hoff and his wife, Jacqui, and Nick Denier, as

well as her grandchildren, Arianna, Kylie, Bentley, Paisley, and Harleigh. She also leaves behind

her siblings, Debora Archambeau, Daniel Denier, Heath Schnaible, Jacob Schnaible and Jessica

Schnaible and many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her mother,

Norma Moen; and

     WHEREAS, First and foremost in Mrs. Denier-Rhodes' life was always her family. She

created a warm and nurturing home for her children and husband, and enjoyed doting on her

grandchildren. She was skilled at crafting and took great joy in creating pretty bows and cute

birthday outfits for her grandchildren. She was a bright light of joy throughout her life and will

forever live in the hearts and memories of her family and many friends; now, therefore be it

     RESOLVED, That this Senate of the State of Rhode Island hereby expresses condolences

on the passing of Tammy L. Denier-Rhodes; 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 David Rhodes and Family.
