It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the petirah of Rebbetzin Doris (Devorah Leah) Fine a”h, the devoted wife of Rav Mordechai Dov Fine, longtime beloved rov of Congregation Machzikeh Hadas in Scranton, Pennsylvania, who passed away after a prolonged illness.
The rebbetzin had battled health challenges in recent years, and was most recently cared for at Dr. Chuna Liebowitz’s wing at Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus in Lakewood, NJ.
For over five decades, Rebbetzin Fine stood at her husband’s side as the rebbetzin of Scranton, playing a central role in building and nurturing the kehillah with unwavering dedication.
She was widely known as a remarkable woman whose warmth, kindness, and genuine concern for others left a lasting impression on all who encountered her.
Those who knew her speak of her exceptional chein and her deep ahavas Yisroel. She had a kind word for everyone, a welcoming presence, and a heart that was open to every Yid.
An unforgettable isha kesheirah, she raised an extraordinary family of bnei and bnos Torah, continuing a legacy of commitment to Torah and yiras Shomayim.
Her petirah leaves a profound void in the greater Scranton community and among the many whose lives she touched so deeply.
The levayah will take place Monday morning at 9:30 a.m. at the Congregation Sons of Israel Holocaust Memorial Chapel, located at 613 Ramsey Avenue in Lakewood, New Jersey. The aron will then be flown to Eretz Yisroel for kevurah there.

Following the levayah, the aron will be transported to JFK Airport for departure to Eretz Yisroel at approximately 12:00 p.m. from 75 North Hangar Road, Queens, New York, at Cargo D Building 75. A Tehillim gathering is expected to take place at the airport location, with exact timing to be determined based on the arrival and departure schedule.
Yehi zichrah boruch.
