our dear mother, Mrs.

CHULEH PEREL

daughter of Reb Moshe

She passed away 5 Nisan 5692

May her soul be bound up in the bond of life.
-------------------------------------------------
Chuleh is a Yiddish name that I have not seen before. Perel is Yiddish for pearl.

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

Moshe is Moses. Many men with this name have a secular name of Morris or similar.
6/15/2025 2:52 PM Thinking further about the first part of her religious name:

Without vowels, it is hard to be sure of the pronunciation of her name, but perhaps it is meant to read "CHAVELE" [CHAH-veh-leh, which would mean "little Chavah = little Eve], with the Ch as in Chanukah or Bach.
