סטיסיע בת ר' אברהם שמואל
Sadie Green
Apr 28, 1970      Nisan 22 5730

The plaque has the wrong Hebrew year. Apr 28, 1970 corresponds to Nisan 22 5730, but the plaque shows it as Nisan 22 5731. We'll assume it is a typo and treat the English date as the correct one. There is no grave image to compare to
