from wiki:

The park is a memorial to both Ida and Isidor Straus, a United States congressman and co-owner of Macy’s, who perished on the RMS Titanic.^[3]

On the memorial is carved a passage from Second Samuel 23, “Lovely and pleasant were they in their lives and in their death they were not parted.” The reference is to Ida’s choice to stay with her beloved husband, Isidor, rather than get safely into a lifeboat.
