Charlotte Bloomberg, mother of New York City Mayor and Medford native Michael Bloomberg passed away today after living for over one hundred years.

Mayor Bloomberg released the following statement:

“Today, my sister Marjorie and I lost our mother, Charlotte, after an extraordinary 102 years of life. As the center of our family, our mother’s unimpeachable integrity, fierce independence, and constant love were gifts that profoundly shaped our lives and the lives of so many who knew her. Our family recognizes how truly blessed we have been to have her live such a long and full life, and to be able to carry her spirit with us forever.”
