Hi - I'm wondering if someone can help me with a translation of the Hebrew on the tombstone in the attached picture.  Thanks!

Hello and welcome to RootsChat.

Here lies our beloved mother. A God-fearing woman and the source of pride and joy of her sons and daughters.
Mrs Yenta daughter of Kopil passed away six days from the beginning of Shevat 5695.
May her soul be bound up in the bond of eternal life.

Kopil is a Yiddish diminutive of the Hebrew name Ya'acov, i.e. Jacob.
