8/8/2021 4:07 PM Here lies SARAH daughter of Reb Reuben Yaakov.

===========================================

The last letter in Sarah's name is a bit unclear. It is most likely the letter Hay. However, it could also be the letter Chet, in which case her name would be Serach. This is a Biblical name, but is MUCH less common than the name Sarah.
