Her last days were spent at her country estate at Atherton, where she passed away August 24, 1923, at the age of eighty-four. She was buried in the Home of Peace Cemetery, Rabbi Reuen R. Rinder of Temple Emanuel officiating. The entire service was marked by simplicity, in keeping with her own life. Though known for many activities and outside interests, the dominating part in her life was the intimate sympathy between her and her children. She was a constant inspiration to her two sons, and the debt they owed to her was well expressed by her son, Mortimer Fleishhacker, who spoke feelingly of her life and her influence at the funeral at the home.
Mrs. Fleishhacker was author of several volumes of Travel Records and also issued innumerable selections of beautiful poetry. The San Francisco public knew her chiefly for her work in charitable organizations. She was the first president of the Hebrew Ladies' Sewing Society, filling that office many years; was a member of the city and county Federation of Women's clubs; was connected with the various San Francisco philanthropic bodies and Jewish benevolent societies, including the Council of Jewish Women, the Federation of Jewish Charities, Pacific Orphan Asylum and the Beresford Country Club of, San Mateo.
The influence of her lofty and noble character has transmitted and is made vital in the affairs of today to her children. Mrs. Fleishhacker was the mother of six.
