Taub, Tova

Daughter of Zvi and Sarah. She was born on February 21, 1951 in Be’er Sheva. She attended elementary school in Degania and high school in Be’er Sheva. She enlisted in the IDF in mid-October 1969 and was assigned to the Armored Corps, always striving to bring home warmth in the military camp, decorating every place where flowers, plants, pictures and maps were found, to make her surroundings more attractive and cheerful. The company always tried to encourage its members to improve their mood, even during the difficult times, and to embrace the joy of life in it, working as a trainee and doing its job properly, but she wanted to move to a unit where soldiers and soldiers served together. She was kind and devoted to her role, even when she was assigned additional jobs, such as Abud She was very devoted to her home and her family and did not forget to call home to deliver a peace plan, even if she did not take it with reservations, as other companies did, but would do what she was willing to do. It was late or at a time when there was much work, and on 7 May 1971, she died in the course of her duties. She was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Be’er Sheva. Her commander wrote to her family in a condolence letter: “In her behavior, nature, and life’s cheerfulness, Tova bought the Lev of the unit’s soldiers and commanders, and throughout her service she performed every task she was given best. A close look at its qualities and character and pride was that in my unit soldiers of this type serve. The first pages of the booklet “Afikim B’Negev”, the newsletter of the Municipal High School in Beer Sheva, in the Yad LaNovelim section, are dedicated to her memory.
