Here lies

our dear mother and grandmother

CHAYAH SARAH

Meszaros

daughter of Moshe

She passed away 2 Adar I 5746

May her soul be bound up in the bond of life.
----------------------------------------------------
The first part of her name is pronounced CHAH-yah, with the ch as in Chanukah or Bach.

Moshe is Moses. Depending upon the origin of the family, his secular name might have been Morris or Moritz or something similar (or, as is often the case, something totally different).

She died in the month of "Adar I". In a Jewish leap year, the standard twelfth month, Adar, is replaced by two months, Adar I and Adar II.

The 2nd day of Adar I 5746, began at sunset on February 10th, 1986, and ended at sunset on the 11th.
