Our beloved Aya passed away / איה היקרה שלנו נפטרה

איה האהובה שלנו הלכה לעולמה ב-20 בפברואר 2019. החדשות העציבו וזעזעו את בני משפחתה, ידידיה ורבים מעמיתיה, תלמידיה, מיועצים במעבדה הסטטיסטית בטכניון, ועוד רבים אחרים שאיתם היו לה קשרים חמים של שנים ארוכות.
בלוג זה הוקם בשנת 2008 כדי להנציח את פרישתה של איה מהטכניון. היא שמחה לקרוא את ההודעות היפות שנכתבו על ידי רבים כל כך מאלה שהיא נגעה בחייהם.
בזמן עצוב זה החלטנו לפתוח מחדש את הבלוג לכתיבת סיפורים לזכרה, כאנדרטה וירטואלית. אתם מוזמנים "לשמוע" על חייה ותרומותיה הנפלאות של איה ולשתף בסיפוריכם שלכם

Our beloved Aya passed away on Feb 20, 2019. The news has saddened and shocked her family, friends and many of her colleagues, past students, mentees, advisees at the Technion statistics lab, and so many more with whom Aya had wonderful life-long relationships.
This blog was created in 2008 to commemorate Aya's retirement from the Technion. She was delighted to read the lovely posts contributed by so many of those whose lives she touched.
In this sad moment of Aya's passing away, we decided to re-open the blog for posts, serving as a virtual memorial. We invite everyone to "hear" about Aya's life and wonderful contributions, and to share your stories.

From Arza & Amiram Ron

It all started years ago, in last century, when we all were young and beautiful.

First, I joined Elisha, to do research in the Solid State Institute (Elisha is the best colleague you can ever choose), then we became friends, and then all four of us became friends.

We had learned about each other likings, about each other beliefs, about each other politics – we did not always agree but that is part of friendship.

We learned to know each other homes, each other foods, each other friends, each other children and grandchildren, some of them personally and some through stories. We felt proud of each others offspring.

We shared happiness in joyful events and empathy in less delighted occasions – that is friendship - to have an address to turn to, in good and not so good moments.

Both Amiram and me, know some about physics, but non about statistics.

The items published in “all about aya” Blog, confirmed our intuition and our belief in Aya’s great professional talents, abilities and productivity.

Aya is a fragile strong woman, she is a petite large woman.

Aya, we adore you (and Elisha too), yours, arza and amiram
