Massachusetts Senate adjourns in memory of Marie Nancy Azor of Harwich
Summary
The Massachusetts Senate adopted a motion to adjourn in memory of Marie Nancy Azor of Harwich after senators read a memorial statement about her life and community contributions; the chamber also set its next meeting for Monday at 11 a.m.
The Massachusetts Senate adopted a motion to adjourn in memory of Marie Nancy Azor of Harwich after a memorial statement about her life was read on the chamber floor. Senator Cyr, representing the Cape and Islands, and Senator Collins, representing Suffolk, moved the memorial that the Senate adjourn in her memory.
The memorial statement said Azor was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on July 30, 1973, immigrated to the United States in 1986 and settled on Cape Cod in 1999. It noted she worked for 28 years as a certified nursing assistant and surgical technologist at Cape Cod Hospital and that she became a licensed practical nurse in 2024. The statement described her as active in the Monomoy community, helping coordinate meals and travel logistics for high-school sports teams and volunteering at concession stands, and identified her two sons, Kyle and Jordan Charleau, as her greatest accomplishments.
Senator Durant moved an order that, when the Senate adjourned that day, it would reconvene on Monday next at 11:00 a.m.; the motion was read by the clerk and adopted by voice vote. The chamber then approved the motion to adjourn in memory of Azor; the proceedings concluded with the presiding officer asking for a moment of silence.
The memorial reading and brief procedural motions took place amid a short recess during which senators also recognized visiting high-school athletic teams. The Senate recorded the motions as adopted by voice votes; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally.
