Hi, I am looking for a translation of the Yiddish/Hebrew portion of this headstone. Thank you!

Here lies

a woman of valor, generous of heart, perfect in her deeds,

the crown of her husband and the glory of her children,

and all those who are acquainted with her and who know her

will praise her deeds in the gates.

Mrs. CHAITZY Schorr

daughter of the honored gentleman [?]

Schneur Acherveger

of Valeshtzig/Zaleshtzig

She passed away 16 Adar II 5692

May her soul be bound up in the bond of life.

-----------------------------------------
Her name might have been pronounced either CHAY-tsee or CHY-tsee.

Her father's name is preceded by an abbreviation that I have not seen before; reading it as "honored gentleman" is an educated guess.

His name is pronounced SHNAY-oor. "Acherveger" is a phonetic reading of what is on the stone; I am not familiar with this last name.

He seems to have come from a town called either Valeshtzig or Zaleshtzig; again, this is a phonetic transcription. Please keep in mind that the Hebrew on the stone is written without vowels.

She passed away in the month of "Adar II". A standard Hebrew year has 12 months, the last of which is called Adar. During a Hebrew leap year, which has 13 months, Adar is replaced by Adar I and Adar II.

The 16th of Adar II of the year 5692 began at sunset on March 23rd, 1932, and ended at sunset on March 24th.

Upon further thought, I believe that I have now figured out the abbreviation in front of the name of the father:

Bet-Hay-Mem-Nun: Ben HaManoach: "son of the late" (literally: son of the one who has been laid to rest".

Based on details from the poster, I now read the family name as Oberveger, and the town as Zaleshtzik.
