What a sweet woman! I know her youngest few girls and they are some of the most beautiful people I know. We need moshiach.
Alessa used to type for me as needed. she was the epitome of a conscientious worker who worked long and hard moonlighting beyond her regular job in order to supplement parnassah for her family. she was very self effacing and i never heard a complaint about this from her. she was a truly admirable wife, mother, and ovaid Hashem.
Baruch Dayan emes. It is no coincidence that she passed on koach Nissan. Her entire life was devoted to fulfilling the Rebbe’s ratzon with chesed and humility
I went to the mikvah for the first time after my wedding on a Friday night in the summer. At some point in the meal, it dawned on me that I was wearing my contact lenses, and did not remove them to toivel. I walked to the Rav’s house, who paskend that I would need to toivel again. Mrs. Wirceberg graciously left her family and guest to open the mikvah for me on a late summer Friday night. I will never forget that night!
She was the only Shadchan who never gave up on me when became older and constantly tried to find someone appropriate to what i was looking for. Bh i”m married now.
She was as sweet as could be, and strong as could be.
What a wonderful person. So special. May she be a good advocate on high.

I will miss her ever-present smile !
Forever a beautiful chasid, always smiling and the most humble . May her soul have the highest Aliya ,and may Hashem bless the family with the warmest comfort. Mashiach NOW.
I true loss. Many don’t know, but she was the first (or one of, at least) to translate and adapt sichos of the Rebbe for English speakers. She was a phenomenal writer and utilized all of her talents to bring Moshiach. She had indescribable mesiras nefesh. Moshiach NOW!
41 years ago I was instructed by The Rebbe to put together a book with compositions that young girls wrote about how they love to Bentch Licht. We were suddenly given a deadline and had to be finished by Erev Shabbos Hagodel. The printer said he would do it if we bring it to him by Sunday Morning. Needless to say, we worked through the night of Motzoei Shabbos and at about 5 a.m., Michoel Muchnick,(in whose home we were working), realized that we need one more composition to fill a certain page. But, it was not typeset! He said… Read more »
That was Hashem’s sign to us that she did Everything she could to bring Moshiach. And she raised a family that brining Moshiach closer!
May we see her soon with the coming of Moshiach ASAP!

Rabbi Wircberg has had a most positive influence in my life. We know that we can share credit with her for her husband’s influence. She was also a very positive influence. I spoke with her on the phone. Very strong, very full of emuna and bitachon.
Such a good person. So sorry to hear this. May you be comforted and know she is in good hands in Gan Eden.
A true chassida.
My condolences to the family. Wishing you strength and comfort.
I cannot bear this news…Mrs Wircberg always had a smile and such a wonderful laugh. She was nothing but pure goodness.
My heart is breaking
