What a Zechus to have a new great granddaughter be named during Shivah!

What a great lady. What a great loss.

Always warm, smiling, approachable, yet highly intelligent and completely devoted to her family, shlichus and each member of the community. A role model for so many.

I remember Mrs Korf always smiling and looking very busy. Rabbi Korf was an officiant at our chuppah. Mrs Korf your children have shown us such hospitality and ju s t such kindness when we lived in Miami. Your neshoma is so loved. I and my family wish the family a long life. Until Moahiach very soon.

BDE.
When I was 15, mid 70’s, I had the z’chus to meet the Korf family for the first time. Chesed was like a must by the Rebbetzin. She told me to the effect that you don’t leave my house without having something to nosh. Subsequently, I had many occasions where I enjoyed a Sabbos or Yom Tov seuda by them.
Now, the activities and successes of the Korf family should only skyrocket, Bli Gevul!

Mrs. Korf was my teacher and I attended the Shabbos Shiurim she would give in South Beach. She was very clear spoken and interesting to listen to.
Wishing the entire family much strength – והחי יתן אל לבו !

I was fortunate to grow up in Miami Beach and was blessed to spend much time with Mrs. Korf. She was a wonderful woman who constantly propelled her husband in all of the Rebbes shluchas. She had a constant smile with a smart wit about her. She will be sorely missed. May she continue to watch over all her kids and her whole community.

So sorry to hear this

I have been saying Tehillim for her every day for years, ever since people were asked to say Tehillim. I never had the zchus to meet her but I know she suffered from an illness for a long time. Hamokom Yenachem eschem…

Rabbi Zalman Korf from Chabad of Walnut Creek is in the middle of a charidy campaign to build a Shul. He obviously has more to deal with today. Please help him reach his goal in memory of his beloved mother, the head Shlucha of Florida https://www.charidy.com/walnutcreek

Wonderful special teacher and friend to many. Mrs. Korf was my teacher in grade school and high school, and I considered
Mrs. Korf like an Aunty, special neshama.

Mrs Korf was my Chumash teacher. A brilliant woman with a passion for Chinuch, she was a dynamic and excellent teacher. May her Neshama have an Aliyah.
