Masha was an incredible person. So honest and beautiful inside and out.
I enjoyed shopping in her store and she was always so kind.
She will be missed so much
Whoever walked into her store always walked out with spiritual clothes, everlastingly clean and pure garments of thought speech and deed, of fear and love of G-D, of true kindness, of real honesty, of compassion and true love and patience for a fellow jew, of Tzedakah with a broad hand, of real chasidishkeit and so much more.
Dearest Masha, Crown Heights and the whole world will forever miss you!

BDE I lost a good friend!
Masha you’ll be missed.
My budget wasn’t very big but she always served me with as much care & respect as if I had thousands to spend. She was a very understanding and helpful person, I’m so sorry to see this.
Masha was gracious, pleasant helpful, friendly and caring always! She was a lovely person and the news of her passing is painful and shocking.
Masha was a magnificent women, there was no one like her in the entire world! She was always so caring, loving, patient and always acted with a smile on her face! Enough is enough! We need Moshiach right now!! That is all I can say!
BD”E. I have the most wonderful memories of shopping in Masha’s. Moshiach now.
Masha the heart weeps with this news
Your memory will live on
Masha was gracious, always helpful, and smiling. It was a pleasure to shop in her store. She knew her customers, and thoughtfully allowed me to take a few dresses home and bring back the ones we chose not to keep. She was forthcoming with suggestions when buying a baby gift – all I had to do was tell her who it was for and voila! she knew their taste. She cared enough to inquire about my children and subsequently, grandchildren. Shopping in CH will not be the same. Masha will be missed!
