2nd name on this plaque seems like a typo. There is no Hebrew/Yiddish name called Pelach (which means slice in Hebrew).

No grave image was found -- so no other data is available.

Several options:

1. If the original note read בלה (Bella)—one of the most common Yiddish female names paired with Raizel—a distracted engraver could easily misread בלה as פלח. Raizel Bella is a textbook traditional double Yiddish name.

2. The word for miracle/wonder is spelled פלא (ending in the letter Aleph). Her name on the plaque translates to Raizel Pela (Rose, the Miracle), daughter of Melech (the King).Parents often gave a daughter the middle name Pela if her birth felt like a true miracle or a gift after a long period of waiting. Given that her father's name was Melech (King), her full name רייזל פלח בת מלך carries a gorgeous, poetic double meaning: She was "The Miracle Rose, Daughter of the King."
