This is my great-great grandmother's tombstone. I would like to have it translated. Thank you.

our dear mother

CHAYAH SARAH daughter of the rabbi Rabbi Moshe

She passed away

15 Elul 5680

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

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

The first part of her name, Chayah, is spelled a bit unusually. This name is normally spelled Chet-Yud-Hay; here, it is spelled Chet-Yud-Yud-Hay.

On this stone, it clearly states that her father was a rabbi. Again, this does not necessarily mean that he was the rabbi of a congregation, but that he had rabbinic ordination.
