The Massachusetts House Republican Caucus released the
following statement today on the passing of State Representative Susan Williams
Gifford:
“We are deeply saddened by the untimely passing of our dear friend and colleague, State Representative Susan Williams Gifford. For more than two decades, Susan has been a tireless advocate for the residents of the 2nd Plymouth District, focused on providing for the needs of her constituents and the towns she served. Susan often said her number one priority as a legislator was ‘putting people first’ and she excelled at doing that, whether she was helping constituents resolve a problem or working on behalf of the residents of Carver, Middleboro, and Wareham to secure funding for critical local programs and projects. Her death is a tremendous loss not only for the district, but also for the many family members, friends and colleagues whose lives she touched. The Massachusetts House Republican Caucus extends its sincerest condolences to Susan’s husband, Mark, and to her family. Our thoughts are with them during this difficult time, and we hope they can take comfort in knowing that Susan leaves behind an enduring legacy of public service and dedication to helping others.”
