BDE: Mrs. Chaya Presser, a”h, 101 Years Old

YS GOLD 

Mrs. Chaya Presser left this world Thursday morning at the age of a 101.

Mrs. Presser was a direct descendant of the Bnei Yisaschar, and the daughter of Reb Tzvi Elimelech Spira, the son of the Bukovsker Rov, who carried his name.  

She spent the Holocaust years in England, and manufactured munitions for the war effort. 

Meanwhile, her father was in Eretz Yisroel, but emerged from the ordeal more dead than alive. His only daughter nursed him back to health. 

She married Reb Tzvi Presser of Vienna, and together merited to establish a beautiful Torah family. 

Her family notes that she appreciated the simple joys of life, and never imposed on anyone. She didn’t care for money or honor, and she treated each visitor as though they were the first person to visit her in a very long time period, even though she had a revolving door of visitors. 

As her family noted, they attribute her longevity to her deep care of her Holocaust survivor parents after they emerged from the terrible inferno.

They also note that she mirrored to be cared for by her own children and wonderful aids until her last day on earth, also due to this self sacrifice.

She left this world at 101 years of age leaving behind an incredible legacy.

The levaya took place at Shomrei Hadas this morning. 

Yehi zichra baruch.
