  Simcha Shitrit

Feb 14, 2001 - Simcha Shitrit, 30, of Rishon Letzion, was one of 8 Israelis killed when a Palestinian crashed a bus into a crowded bus stop at Azor junction, south of Tel Aviv. It was the deadliest Palestinian attack on Israelis in four years.

Simcha married Meir Shitrit last year. Thinking of children, they moved to a new apartment in Ashkelon just eight months ago. Despite the move, Simcha continued to work at her old job in the Rishon Letzion industrial zone, and used to change buses at Azor daily on her way to work.

"She was an angel, a flower. She loved to help people and everyone loved her," Simcha's brother Eli said,. "The last time I saw her was two days ago at a family celebration. We danced together, and she was happy. I don't believe she's gone."

She is survived by her husband, parents, and seven brothers and sisters.

She was buried in her home town of Rishon Letzion.
