Other Notes:

[N] This gravestone is installed in the Wall of Memory above the unrelated N02C, as if the two fragments are part of one original. Inspection of the epitaphs confirms that the two fragments do not belong together. See the image in the gallery of the two gravestones together on the Wall.
[N2] The term 'kosher' implies that she kept an orthodox-Jewish household.
[N3] The masculine attribute החסיד [see for example S04B] is translated as 'saintly'. Appearing here in a list of female attributes, 'pious' is a more-appropriate translation of חסידה.

See About Dobromyl for an index to headstone locations in the Wall of Memory.
Stone is recorded as Grounded because it is fixed in the Wall of Memory.
