Here lies

the woman ESTHER RACHEL daughter of Reb Michel

She passed away 6 Iyar 5700

to the sorrow of her sons, her daughters,
and her grandchildren, in the 70th year of her life.

======================================================
'Reb' is an honorific; it does not mean rabbi.

Her father's name was Michel (some people might read this as Michal, which is incorrect, as that is a girl's name). There are differences of opinion as to the origin of the name Michel. One obvious possibility is that is is derived from the name Michael; others insist that it is a nickname for the Hebrew name Yechiel.
