The resolution expresses deep condolences from the House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island on the passing of Violet Rose Little, the mother of former colleague Anastacia Williams and Rigoberto Cano Little. Mrs. Little, affectionately known as "Rose," was born in Silver City, Panama, to Jamaican emigrants and later moved to the United States with her husband, Benjamin Little. She was an accomplished individual, earning degrees in Economics and Agency Counseling, and dedicated her career to education at Rhode Island College. After retirement, she continued to serve her community through various volunteer efforts, including tutoring and counseling single mothers.

Mrs. Little was actively involved in her church and community, holding several leadership roles at Hood Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church and contributing to charitable projects. She was known for her vibrant personality, generosity, and commitment to helping others, leaving a lasting impact on her family and community. The resolution concludes by authorizing the Secretary of State to send certified copies of the resolution to her family, honoring her memory and contributions.
