YWN regrets to inform you of the Petira of Rebbitzen Chava Frankel A”H, a “Radziner Einikle”.

Rebbitzen Frankel owned the Frankels Hebrew Book Store on 16th Avenue, until she moved to Monsey 15-years-ago, to live with her son, Rav Yehuda Frankel Shlita – the longtime Menahel of Yeshiva of Spring Valley, and formerly Menahel of Mirrer Yeshiva.
She is survived by her son R’ Heshy Frankel of Lakewood, R’ Yehuda Frankel of Monsey, Mrs. Peshy Silberberg of Minneapolis Minnesota, and Mrs. Chaykie Maan Of Cleveland Ohio.

I remember her from the store as a wonderfully kind and helpful person; Always respectful of her Talmid Chochom husband who also worked in the store with an ever-open sefer.
Correction: Mrs Frankel owned Frankels along with her husband until about 35 years ago when Rabbi Kasnett bought it, she did continue working there for years and was a fixture in that store for a long time, a real Tzadeikus and very special person!
BDE
how was she related to R Yankel Leiner, the last Rebbe, who was niftar approximately 2 years ago?
thx
She is also survived by her sister Mrs.Toby Fleisher of Boro Park / Lakewood.
For #2, she owned Frankel’s after her husbands petira for several years until around 25 years ago not 35.
For #3 She was the aunt of R’ Yankel Leiner, his father R’Mordechai Yosef older sister.
#4, I personally know the former owner (Frankels closed abt 2 yrs ago) and it is closer to 30 years. You’re right though she did own it for a few years after her husband was Niftar.
