Bill > J00811

This resolution pays tribute to Gail Franko, a distinguished citizen from Buchanan, New York, who passed away on April 9, 2025, at the age of 82. Born in the Bronx in 1942, Gail worked at New York Life Insurance Company, where she met her husband Ted, and had a diverse career that included working at an insurance company, a bakery, and a school. She was deeply committed to her community, serving as a member of the Buchanan Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary and volunteering at Hudson Valley Hospital for an impressive 45 years. A devoted member of the Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer in Peekskill, Gail was survived by her daughters Dina and Kara, son John, and nieces Eva and Julie. The resolution honors her compassionate spirit and significant contributions to her community, and formally acknowledges her legacy by pausing in legislative deliberations to mourn her passing and transmitting a copy of the resolution to her family as a gesture of respect and remembrance.
