I remember when she would come to Izzy and Marilyn for shabbos and I would see her at Frankel shul. She was friendly and warm. I think she got a kick out of her brother’s lively brood.

Miss Rosenfeld was kind and gentle as a teacher. She even hosted a review class in her apartment for us. Later, I worked with her. So warm and cheerful, always asking about others well being.

She was my assistant principal for four years at Shevach, she was also my teacher. She was an excellent role model. I am really saddened by her petira. May she be a mailitz yosher for us all. Perhaps her former students can do something for a zechus for her nishama. Any ideas?

Baruch dayan haemes - sorry to hear.

Elki’s mother was Camp Mother in Camp Bnos in Liberty, NY,
back in the 50s. She was beloved as well.

So very sad. A smart and fun woman. Full of love and wit. A great educator. She taught a a shiur Tanya in Gateshead, England many years ago and brought visitors to Crown Heights for Simchas Torah from England back then as per the Rebbe’s instructions.

She was predeceased by her sister Sara Claire as well. BD”E. The three siblings had the most wonderful mother-Mrs. Gertie (Gertrude) Rosenfeld.

Whenever I was with her, she was full of smiles and good humour and so full of life.
To #2 there is no one sitting shiva for her. She loved her nieces and nephews and their children and will be missed by them all, I’m sure.
