While doing research into one of her descendants who married into one of my ancestral families, I found a transcription of the inscription on her stone. Because of the lack of a picture of that stone, I suspect it is no longer visible. There were also transcriptions for her husband, Henry, and son, Ebenezer - I've sent those transcriptions to the gentleman who is managing their memorials.
The source information for the transcriptions is Trowbridge, Francis Bacon, The Champion Genealogy: A History of the Descendants of Henry Champion of Saybrook and Lyme, Connecticut, Together with some account of other families of the name, Tuttle, Morehouse & Taylor, New Haven, Connecticut, 1866, p. 40
The transcription is
Sacred to the Memory of
Mrs. Mahetable Champion
wife of Mr. Henry Champion
who departed this life
Oct. 4, 1775, in ye
78 year of her age.
