In looking at your query again, after posting my message, I paid a little more attention to the name of the hotel. The Hotel Lenox is a "swanky" hotel and is still standing. They charged "$1.50 a day and up" according to the 1912 city directory. When people were working a 60-hour week for $10.00, $1.50 was a lot of money! They had "transient" and "residential" accomodations. So she may have been living there as a guest or permanently. If she was a permanent resident and was Protestant, Forest Lawn would be the best bet. But that does not mean that she could've been buried elsewhere, e.g. along with family somewhere in a pre-existing family lot, or sent out of town for burial or buried in another local cemetery for some other reason. (A Catholic would not have been able to be buried in Forest Lawn since it was not considered "consecrated ground" by the Church. Lakeside was also popular with people who had some money.
