Joan Rivers was one of the borough’s brightest daughters, and when she passed away on Sept. 4 at 81 she still had more energy than many people half her age.
No matter how high her star soared Joan never forgot her Flatbush roots. She joined Borough President Eric Adams and staff at God’s Love We Deliver in May to deliver the organization’s fifteen millionth meal in Williamsburg.
The beep called Rivers “incomparable” and said her work and her spirit will live on, and continue to inspire generations of Brooklynites and Americans.
“No matter where she went, locals could always see her as the funny girl from Flatbush who made it to the biggest of big times,” Adams told Standing O. “Joan Rivers was unafraid and uncompromising in her comedy, blazing a trail for women in Hollywood and showing everyone how to be at your best through your golden years.”
Standing O offers condolences to her daughter Melissa and grandson Cooper and says, “Thanks Joan for the laughter, your generosity, your Brooklyn spirit, and your inspiration to every woman who ever wanted to make ‘em laugh. This Standing O is for you.”
