Here lies

our dear mother, Mrs.

ESTHER daughter of Reb Nachum the Cohen

She passed away 14 Menachem Av 5686

May her soul be bound up in the bond of life.
---------------------------------------------------
'Reb' is an honorific; it does not mean rabbi.

Nachum is a Biblical name; he was a minor prophet.

Her father was a Cohen, member of the priestly tribe that started with Aaron, Moses' brother. This is a designation passed from father to son.

The Hebrew month of her death, Menachem Av, is also known by the shorter name: Av.
