The Rebbetzin passed away at Mincha time on Shabbat, 6 Tishrei 5725 (September 12, 1964), and thousands of Chassidim attended her funeral. She rests in the Rebbetzins' section near the Rebbe Rayatz's ohel in Queens, New York.

On the day of her passing, her chair in the women's section at 770 caught fire.

On Yom Kippur, which fell during the shiva, the Rebbe asked R' DovBer Junik to arrange a minyan for Mincha prayer in her apartment.

==== Her Legacy ====
Starting from Shabbat Bereishit 5725, the Rebbe began explaining Rashi's commentaries on the weekly Torah portion during Shabbat farbrengens, week after week. The Rebbe also published a booklet of Igeret HaTeshuvah with a dedication in her memory.

In 5725, the Rebbe held farbrengens every week (while in those years he would usually only hold farbrengens on Shabbat Mevorchim) and would edit the complete transcription of the farbrengen. This practice continued until Parshat Vayishlach. Nevertheless, that year the Rebbe held more Shabbat farbrengens than usual and delivered many maamarim.

From 5726 until 5748, the Rebbe held a farbrengen on 6 Tishrei - her yahrzeit, and often spoke about her character. In 5749 and 5750, he also gave a sicha. On these occasions, the Rebbe often encouraged the three mitzvot connected to Jewish women and girls associated with her name: Challah, Niddah, and Hadlakat HaNer (candle lighting).

Many girls carry the name Chana, and numerous institutions were established in her memory.

Among these are 'Keren Chana' which helps fund girls who wish to study in Jewish seminaries, the "Beit Chana" network of high schools for girls, Nachalat Har Chabad neighborhood in Kiryat Malachi was also founded in her merit, and 'Machon Chana' for newly observant women.

In 5772 (2012), at the annual religious affairs conference in Kazakhstan, the Rishon LeZion Rabbi Shlomo Amar presented Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev with the Rebbetzin's diary translated into Russian on behalf of Kazakhstan's Jewish community and Israel's Chief Rabbinate, after mentioning her in his speech before religious leaders.
