The Rhode Island Senate on Jan. 18 adopted a resolution expressing condolences on the passing of Catherine E. Young, a music and theater teacher at Smithfield High School.
The clerk read the resolution noting Young’s service as a teacher and volunteer and describing her contributions to school music programs. Senator DeCoyan moved the resolution and Senator Cohen and others offered personal remarks recalling Young’s dedication to students and community. Senator Cohen said Young "was a passionate music, chorus, band, and theater teacher" and urged colleagues to remember the difference teachers make.
The resolution was moved, seconded, and adopted by the Senate. The measure directs the secretary of state to transmit certified copies to Young’s family.
What happens next: The resolution is ceremonial and expresses the chamber’s condolences; it does not authorize expenditures or mandate actions beyond transmitting certified copies.
