This is what I found for you.
It appears that your great grandmother was Bessie O. (Foster) Smith Hudsonpillar Gibson. She was born in 1873 in Hardin County, Iowa to Ambrose and Emma J. Foster. Marriage applications for all three of Bessie's marriages confirm these parents. Ambrose and Emma J. lived in Harrison County, Iowa and moved to Stevens County, Washington state where both died.
Bessie (Foster) Gibson and John Gibson and her son, Frank Hudsonpillar were living in Missouri Valley in 1925 [Iowa state census]. There is a possibility that Bessie died on January 14, 1926 (unconfirmed);
