The symbol at the top of the stone is a candlabra, a symbol for a Jewish woman.
I believe her Hebrew given name translates as Henya rather than Hannah.   Otherwise you did a great job in translating.

Shalom.

I have translated the inscription on my great great grandmother's tombstone.
However, I would like to know the significance of the symbol at the top of the tombstone.
Also, I am seeking clarification on the names that I have translated.
Thank you very much. Shalom, Tzvi Schnee
P.S. Please, see attached document.
