Lizbeth Mass was a construction worker who was tragically killed by a gun on April 14th, 2021.  While she did not reside on City Island, she worked here for over a year directing traffic and was known to the larger community as a warm, caring person.  Her death is mourned by everyone in our neighborhood.

To honor her memory, City Island Rising Inc, a community-based not-for-profit organization serving the City Island community, is collecting funds to dedicate a bench in her honor at Bridge Park (also known as the Catherine Scott Promenade).  Any additional funds collected will go towards a possible tree donation or will be donated to her family to defray any expense they incurred during her passing.
