Her marrying into the Leikin family comes from Irina Leikin, who has said she is related to Grandpa Jack's mother's family (Anna Chaya).
At the same time, Grandpa Jack (Judah, 1896-1969), wrote that his mother's mother (he didn't name her), "counted more" than his mother's father, "who was a very simple man but a very honest and pious" man.

Grandpa Jack wrote that his mother's mother "lived to a great old age, I believe she passed the hundred mark."

Grandpa Jack wrote that his mother was the eldest child. She had two sisters and five brothers "and they were all very smart people."
