Today, we remember Sigrid Wiswe, who would have celebrated her 66th birthday on October 29, 2025. Sigrid, born in Germany, immigrated to the United States at the age of 14, and later became a beloved resident of Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood. Tragically, she was one of the victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, where she was working on the 94th floor of the North Tower as a manager for American Express, handling the Marsh & McLennan account. At the time of her passing, Sigrid was 41 years old.
A Life Remembered

She had a passion for knitting, enjoyed baking traditional German cookies, and found immense joy in spoiling her niece with gifts. Her kindness and thoughtfulness were felt deeply by her family and friends, who continue to cherish her memory.
Her presence in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan brought comfort to those around her, and her death on 9/11 left an irreplaceable void in the lives of those who knew her. Today, her memory is honored with the placing of a white rose at her name on the 9/11 Memorial, a symbol of love, remembrance, and respect.
