The levaya will be held this morning, at 9 a.m., at Berger Memorial Chapel, located at 4715 McPherson Avenue in St. Louis. Kevurah will take place in Eretz Yisroel.
The Rebbetzin is survived by her husband, Rav Rivkin, and their children, Mrs. Yocheved Rubin and Rabbi Ben Zion Rivkin.
The family will be sitting shivah in Eretz Yisroel.
Yehi zichrah boruch.
