A Memorial for Ali Solas

Friends and members of the Solas family gathered on Saturday, April 27 for the dedication of a memorial to Ali Solas, the daughter of Selectman George Solas and his wife Lissa.

Ali was eight years old when she died following a car accident on Route 44 in October 1979.

The Rehoboth Garden Club made the arrangements to place the memorial near the Council on Aging building at Francis Farm. A dogwood tree was planted in Ali’s honor. Members of the Board of Selectmen were also present to pay their respects.

Paul Nunes, a member of the Garden Club, said the dogwood tree stood for “resilience and beauty.”
