Moran Shoshan, 20, of Haifa, who was critically wounded in the suicide bus bombing attack in the city last Wednesday, died of her wounds early on Tuesday morning.
Her death brought to 17 the number of those murdered aboard the crowded bus on Sderot Moriah on the Carmel.
Twelve of those wounded are still hospitalized, with two in serious condition and the remainder suffering from moderate-to-light wounds.
Shoshan, who had been doing her national service working for Kupat Holim Klalit, had boarded the No. 37 bus in order to visit a friend.
Her widowed mother and sisters were not aware she had been on the bus until the friend called them to say she had not arrived and was worried she might have been involved in the explosion.
Following the attack, Shoshan was treated in the intensive care unit of Rambam Hospital alongside Anatoly Biryakov, also 20, who succumbed to his wounds on Saturday. His family decided to donate his organs for transplant.
Biryakov was buried in the Messianic Community cemetery in Haifa on Sunday shortly after another victim of the attack, Abigail Litle, 14, an American who lived in Israel, was laid to rest there.
Shoshan, who is survived by her mother and three sisters, Sharon, Mira and her twin, Sivan, was laid to rest at the Kfar Samir Cemetery in Haifa on Tuesday afternoon.
Her mother, Rachel, told reporters prior to the funeral that Moran had been full of life and energy and was always helping other people. "Her [matriculation] mark was 98. Nobody is perfect, but she was almost perfect. She was a wonderful girl with a big heart, and a girl who gave everybody a love of life,"said Rachel Shoshan.
"Everybody liked her, everybody loved her. She was wonderful. I won't see her ever again. I will miss her terribly for the rest of my life, but she will be with me,"said the grief-stricken mother.
Mira said Moran's boyfriend had been afraid of her traveling on buses and had driven her to and from work whenever possible. For that reason, they did not know she had traveled by bus to visit a friend she had not seen for two months.
Mira told reporters that they had all been in touch with one another immediately after the explosion but had been unable to contact Moran, believing at first it was due to phone lines being down because of the number of calls.
"After a while, her friend called and spoke to our mother and told her Moran was supposed to visit her but had not arrived and that she could have been caught in the explosion on the bus,"said Mira.
Sivan said her twin had been full of life, was always active and never stopped for a moment. "She knew how to enjoy life and I'm pleased she managed to achieve and do so much... she took advantage of every moment,"said Sivan.
