In Sharon, within Sharon Memorial Park, is this marker for Edith G. Braverman, who lived for about 104 years.

The marker is located near the Chapel in the Woods. It would be helpful to download the map of the cemetery or ask for directions and get a map at the administration office/welcome center.

The marker is located across a drive from the Chapel in the Woods. The marker is a bronze plaque set flat to the ground, which is the same for all the markers in this cemetery. The number, 335, is located by the marker. The plaque has general designs on the edge, then the family name, "Braverman," in big letters. On the left is a small plaque with the following:

"Edith G.
[Hebrew letters, possibly her Hebrew name]
1905 - 2009"

Her husband is Aaron H. (1897 - 1969), who was a doctor (see the symbol on the plaque).

I couldn't find any references to Edith. The following are some events that happened during her birth and death years:

1905:
February 23 – Rotary International is founded.
March 4 – United States President Theodore Roosevelt begins a full term.
March 17 – Albert Einstein publishes his paper "On a heuristic viewpoint concerning the production and transformation of light", in which he explains the photoelectric effect using the notion of light quanta.
June 30 – Albert Einstein publishes the article "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" where he reveals his theory of special relativity.
October 5 – The Wright brothers' third aeroplane (Wright Flyer III) stays in the air for 39 minutes with Wilbur piloting, the first aeroplane flight lasting over half an hour.

2009
June 25 – The death of American entertainer Michael Jackson triggers an outpouring of worldwide grief.
October 1 – Paleontologists announce the discovery of an Ardipithecus ramidus fossil skeleton, deeming it the oldest remains of a human ancestor yet found.
November 13 – Having analyzed the data from the LCROSS lunar impact, NASA announces that it has found a "significant" quantity of water in the Moon's Cabeus crater.
December 16 – Astronomers discover GJ 1214 b, the first-known exoplanet on which water could exist.
