Mourning the death of Norma Lucia Gonsalves, distinguished citizen and devoted member of her community

This is a memorial resolution (Senate Resolution J 355), not a policy bill. It formally honors Norma Lucia Gonsalves, a retired educator and longtime Nassau County Legislator from East Meadow, who died at age 90 in February 2025. The resolution asks the New York State Senate to pause its proceedings to mourn her death and directs that a copy be sent to her family. It does not create any new laws or affect any policies, as it is a standard tribute for a deceased community leader.
