Waltham Council honors Rose Marie Richard on her 100th birthday
Summary
The Waltham City Council unanimously approved a resolution honoring Rose Marie Richard, a longtime Ward 7 resident and volunteer, marking her 100th birthday and decades of service to the community and St. Mary’s Parish.
The Waltham City Council adopted a resolution on June 8, 2026, honoring Rose Marie Richard on the occasion of her 100th birthday. The resolution, read by the Clerk, notes Richard was born on 10/20/1926 in Somerville, moved to Waltham in 1958 and worked at Waltham Hospital from 1970 until its closure.
Councillor Cates, who introduced the tribute, praised Richard’s long record of community involvement, saying, “I wish missus Richard a very happy 100th birthday and thank her for a century of family, faith, friendship.” The council suspended its rules to take the resolution out of order and approved the measure by voice vote; no opposing votes were recorded in the transcript.
The resolution cites more than 30 years of service to the city and Richard’s longstanding membership at St. Mary’s Parish. The Council President presided over the meeting and called the matter approved after the voice vote. No further action or follow-up was specified in the record.
