She was a cherished wife, mother, and grandmother, married to Khamsing Phivilay for fifty years. Mrs. Phivilay is remembered for her loving nature and dedication to her family, including her children and grandchildren.

The resolution highlights Mrs. Phivilay's gentle spirit and the profound impact she had on those around her. It calls for the Senate to extend heartfelt condolences to her family and directs the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to her husband and children, ensuring that her memory is honored within the community.

Introduced by Senator Jacob Bissaillon on January 21, the resolution has been recommended for immediate consideration.
