House Republican Caucus statement on the passing
of State Representative Susan Williams Gifford
BOSTON – 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 2 nd
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.”
