6/27/2021 2:30 PM Here lies our dear and modest mother
Chaya Raizel daughter of Reb Naftali
Died on Hoshana Rabbah (21st of Tishrei) in the year 5702
May her soul be bound up in the bond of eternal life
6/27/2021 3:03 PM To add to what the first helper wrote:

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

The first part of her Hebrew name, Chayah, is spelled different from the norm; it is usually spelled with only three letters, Chet-Yud-Hay; here, it is spelled with a double Yud.

"Hoshanah Rabbah", whose Hebrew date is the 21st of Tishri, is the 7th day of the Holiday of Sukkot, the "Festival of Booths".
