Statement from Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.
“Madeline Provenzano was a good friend, and someone who was passionate about her community. As a City Council Member Madeline helped make the East Bronx a better place, and was a champion for the creation of a new golf course at Ferry Point Park and a fighter for the needs of senior citizens and youth throughout the community. Madeline Provenzano was a strong women, a paragon of public service and a role model for other elected officials, and her spirit and conviction will be sorely missed.
“The thoughts and prayers of the people of The Bronx are with her family in their time of need,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.
Statement from State Senator Jeff Klein
“Madeline Provenzano shared a piece of my district in the East Bronx as a City Councilwoman. She dedicated her life to our communities and advocating for all of our issues in the City Council. I’m proud that, together, we successfully fought for everything from attracting a world class golf course to Ferry Point Park to pooling city and state funding to combat graffiti. Madeline was a wonderful leader and friend. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this time.”
