As a neighbor I would often see this quiet, unassuming women sitting outside her apartment reading Tehillim with great intensity. How sad that she is gone; just seeing this intense picture was inspirational. May her family take comfort in the knowledge that she, a holocaust survivor who had every right to be angry and bitter, raised a fine, yiras shomayimdikeh family, and was, in her own quiet way, a dugma chaya for those of us who understood and appreciated the tmimmesdikeh mark she left in this world.
We are sadden by your loss, may you be comforted among the mourners of Zion

Bubby Rochel was so special. Her lips never stopped praising Hashem. Every time I came to visit her she was always in middle of saying tehillim. Despite the hardships she endured in the holocaust, she was always optimistic, and put her full bitachon in Hashem. She taught us how to be grateful for even the bear necessities we are granted in life! Bubby Rochel was so warm, loving, and caring.
May we all learn from her ways, and may we merit to see her very soon with Moshiach speedily in our days!
