The resolution expresses profound sadness over the passing of Constance M. Silveira, who was a cherished wife, mother, and grandmother. Known affectionately as "Connie," she was married to Joseph Silveira, Jr. for sixty-seven years and was a devoted mother to Patricia Whalen, Kathline Levesque, and the late Theresa Correia. Connie was born in Providence and had a loving upbringing, later reuniting with her birth family. She created a warm and welcoming home in East Providence, where she cherished her role as a grandmother to eight grandchildren, three step-grandchildren, and thirteen great-grandchildren.
In addition to her family life, Connie Silveira served as a school secretary at Grove Avenue School, contributing significantly to the school's community. She and her husband also owned a paint and wallpaper business. Connie enjoyed a fulfilling life filled with travel and family gatherings, leaving a lasting impact on those around her. The resolution concludes by extending the Senate's deepest sympathies to her family and authorizing the Secretary of State to send certified copies of the resolution to her loved ones.
