she couldn’t be a granddaughter of the Chasam Sofer. Most probably a great[great[granddaughter.

BD”E, what a TZadeikess. The past few yrs she lived by her daughter and son-in-law R’ Yisroel Dovid & Devorah Londinski. The way they were mitapel with their parents was mamesh a walking Shulchan Aruch in Hilchos Kibud Av V’eim. Every Shabbos meal. Every Simcha, they were there, being cared for lovingly by their children, the Tzugekimineh & eineklach. MAy it be a zchus for the whole family.

Her father was Rav Shmuel Ehrenfeld zt”l, the previous Mattersdorfer Rov.

she was a great-great-great-granddaughter of the Chasam Sofer through the Chasam Sofer‘s daughter Hindel, who married Rav Dovid Tzvi Ehrenfeld.
