Hoboken City Council President Jen Giattino died suddenly Tuesday after serving more than a decade in office, New Jersey officials said.

She was 53.

Giattino, who was first elected in 2011, was remembered as the “heart of Hoboken” and a friendly face across her community.

“Jen — the love of my life and mother of our three children — passed away suddenly. She was not only an incredible mother but also a dedicated public servant who cared deeply about this community. Jen’s unwavering commitment, kindness, and passion touched so many lives here in Hoboken,” her husband said in a statement provided to The Post.

“We are devastated by her loss, and I ask for privacy for our family as we try to navigate this difficult time.”

Giattino clinched re-election in 2015, 2019 and 2023, according to reports. 

It wasn’t immediately clear how she died, but the impact on the people she left behind was starkly felt Tuesday night.

“She really was the heart of Hoboken, she is beloved by so many people in this community,” Councilwoman Tiffanie Fisher told The Post.

“I’m lucky that I got to call her one of my closest friends, but she was close friends with so many in our community.”

Fisher said she got to know Giattino when Fisher first ran for office nearly 10 years ago because the pair were on the same ticket.

“There is no better councilperson than her,” added Fisher, who represents the 2nd Ward. “She made me a better councilperson.”

Giattino, who represented the 6th Ward, became council president last January for the sixth time following a three-year hiatus from the post, the Star-Ledger reported.   

Councilman Ruben Ramos Jr. said Giattino fiercely cared about the city of 57,000 and went above and beyond for constituents.

He called her the “godmother” of her neighborhood who was “always looking out for everyone.”

“People really appreciated the wholesomeness that she brought to the role of the city council,” Ramos said.

He recalled an elderly constituent who needed help bathing herself.

“And Jen would, like, go over and bathe her, she needed help like taking a bath,” Ramos said. “If you needed her, when she said, ‘Hey, I’ll do anything you need,’ she was the definition of anything you need, including bathing someone if they needed it that wasn’t feeling well and needed some help.”

Councilman Paul Presinzano choked back tears as he described her as “bigger than life” with so many friends.

“She got along with everyone,” he said. “Words can’t describe. It’s a shock.”

Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla announced her death over social media Tuesday evening.

“Her kindness, humility, and quiet determination made her a cherished figure whose impact will be felt for generations to come,” he wrote in a statement Tuesday evening. 

“There are no words to describe the sense of loss we are all feeling.”
