Jennifer Mazzotta was born and raised in Ridgewood and Maspeth, Queens. She graduated from Grover Cleveland High School in Ridgewood and St. Joseph’s College in Brooklyn. She was one of the youngest traders at Cantor Fitzgerald and was among 658 people Cantor Fitzgerald lost in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In 2003, a street near where she grew up was named in her honor.

Twenty-five years later, we honor the Queens residents, first responders, workers, and volunteers who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, or died from 9/11-related illnesses. Each lived in or shared a deep connection with Queens, and many are remembered through local memorial sites and co-named streets featured here on the Queens Name Explorer. On this page, we remember those lost from the following neighborhoods: Astoria, Hunters Point, Long Island City, Maspeth, Steinway, Sunnyside and Woodside.
