It was very helpful to be able to look at the additional images on findagrave. Thank you for including the link.

=====================================================
Here lies

The modest woman

Mrs.

DEVORAH

Daughter of our teacher, our rabbi, Alexander Zusha, peace be upon him,

She supported herself by the toil of her hand

And she passed away at a ripe old age, elderly and satisfied in days

On the fourth day of Chol Hamoed Pesach [Passover], 20 Nisan 5668/5688

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

-----------------------------------------------
Devorah is a Biblical name.

Zusha is a Yiddish name.

Her father might have been a rabbi; or, “our teacher, our rabbi” might simply be a title of honor, indicating that he was a scholar.

She passed away on the “fourth day of Chol haMoed Pesach [Passover]”. The first two and last two days of this 8-day holiday are the “holier” days of the holiday, with four “Intermediate” days which are called “Chol haMoed”. (This refers to the holiday as celebrated in the Diaspora; in Israel, it is slightly different). The fourth day of Chol haMoed, which is the sixth day of the holiday, is the 20th day of the month of Nisan.

The letter that represents the number 60 and the letter that represents the number 80 are very similar. I cannot tell – because of the condition of the stone at that spot – whether the year of death was 5668 or 5688. If 5668, then the 20th of Nisan, 5668, corresponds to April 20/21, 1908. If the year of death was 5688, then the 20th of Nisan, 5688, corresponds to April 9/10, 1928.
