RACHEL daughter of Reb Hillel the Levite

she passed away 15 Adar I 5695

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

==============================================
The pronunciation of the Hebrew name Rachel is RAH-chel (in modern Israeli pronunciation) and ROH-chel in traditional Ashkenazic pronunciation.

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