PAWTUCKET – City councilors pressed on with their April 7 meeting because that’s what their colleague Ama Amponsah would have wanted them to do, said Council President David Moran.
Councilors expressed their shock at losing Amponsah to illness on Easter Sunday, saying they will do their best to embody her beautiful spirit going forward.
Councilor Melissa DaRosa said Amponsah was truly a mother to her growing up, as she was to many, and would always catch her trying to get away with things at her store. Amponsah had such a rapport with the community, she said, and was a protector and role model to her.
