Biography[edit]
Steinberg was born in Kishinev in the Russian Empire (now Chișinău, Moldova), one of eight children born to Chazkel and Dvoira Gurfinkel.[2] She was a survivor of the 1903 Kishinev pogrom in which 49 Jews died and 500 were injured over two days.[3][4] In 1923, she and her two sisters emigrated to the United States. She married Philip Steinberg in 1932. Her husband, who died in 1967, worked as a jeweler on Fulton Street. She worked as a seamstress until she retired at age 80.[5] She lived independently until she was 104.[5]
She was survived by her two children, four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.[5] She lived in the Grandell Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Long Beach, New York at the time of her death.[2][5] Steinberg died on August 16, 2015.[6]
