00:01Eva Geller was among more than 40 people wounded when two gunmen opened fire at a Jewish celebration on December
00:0814th.
00:10Rabbi Aaron Moss spoke on her family's behalf this afternoon.
00:14He says she was 89 but healthy until the shooting.
00:18He says she's been in and out of hospital since then and never recovered completely from her injuries.
00:24The rabbi says despite doctors telling her she would never walk again, she did, including at one of his services
00:31in September.
00:32He says Ms Geller was admitted to Prince of Wales Hospital a few weeks ago and that she died overnight.
00:38It's unclear whether the cause of her death has been attributed to her Bondi injuries.
00:43Police say they are waiting for further advice and are working with the coroner.
00:47But as far as the family is concerned, she never regained her health after the attack.
00:52She's a proud mother, grandmother, a great grandmother, a beautiful positive person,
01:00who even through these difficult months maintained her positivity.
01:06She was always so sweet. Everyone in the community really loved her and loved being in her presence.
01:12The New South Wales Premier has paid tribute.
01:14Chris Minns says after everything Eva endured her death is heartbreaking
01:19and that almost a year on we are still living with the pain and aftershock of that evil act.
01:25Opposition leader Kelly Sloan also sent condolences, saying Eva's name joins those of the 15 other innocent people lost.
01:32It will be re-traumatising for a lot of the victims of the Bondi massacre and those who remain injured
01:38and dealing with the consequences.
01:40There's a lot of building grief as we approach the anniversary, so Eva's death will be crushing.
01:49Ms Geller was originally from Hungary. Her family says she fled the Holocaust.
01:54She was a great great grandmother who is being remembered as a pillar of her family.
01:58The Rabbi says she was known for her sweetness and the positivity she maintained following the attack that tore apart
02:05this community.
02:06I'll see you to see.
