returned her soul to her Maker at the age of 68. At the
levaya on Sunday she was eulogized by her brother-in-
law HaRav Aharon Dovid Dunner, a dayan and moreh
tzedek in London and rov of the Adas Yisroel Synagogue of
Tottenham- London. The mittoh was accompanied by a
large crowd led by her father-in-law, HaRav Yosef Tzvi
Dunner.

HaRav Yitzchok, a distinguished member of the Golders Green
kehilloh, HaRav Ben Tzion, a prominent supporter of
Torah and tzedokoh organizations, HaRav Zeev, a
ram at Yeshivas Aish HaTorah, HaRav Pinchos, rov of a
London kehilloh, her son-in-law HaRav Alexander Lebel
and grandchildren following in her upright path.
