The Senate of the State of Rhode Island expresses its profound sorrow at the passing of Marie T. Nesselbush, who was a beloved figure in her family and community. She was married twice, first to Donald Nesselbush and later to the late Steven Viti, and was the cherished mother of former Senator Donna Nesselbush. Marie was born in Buffalo, New York, and was a dedicated family member, leaving behind a large family including her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Known for her vibrant personality, she earned the affectionate nicknames "Lola" and "Hot Mama" during her long residency at Steere House, where she was the longest-serving resident.

Marie Nesselbush was not only a devoted family member but also a woman of many interests and talents. She was crowned a beauty queen in her youth and worked as a secretary before her retirement. An avid Buffalo Bills fan, she enjoyed life to the fullest, relishing good wine, lively parties, and dancing. The resolution concludes with the Senate extending its deepest sympathies to her family and authorizing the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to Donna Nesselbush and her family.
