Since she is a relative you can request permission. See this article on How to request ordinances for an ancestor who was born in the last 110 years.

FYI
.
Provided that Parents and Sibling of your Great Grandmother's 'First' Cousin are ALL Dead/Deceased; plus, that when YOU select the "View My Relationship" in "FamilySearch" on her "Person/Details" page/screen (or, Pup-Up Card); AND, there is a FORMAL "Relationship" (ie. link/connection) indicated between the two of you ...
.
THEN, you CAN request to do the "Temple" Work for her.
.
When you so "Request", you have to select the "I have Permission", which is NOT obvious. If her Parents and Sibling are ALL Dead/Deceased; then, by extension - YOU have Permission.
.
Once you select the "I have Permission", you can indicate that ALL "Living" Relatives are Dead/Deceased.
.
It can be confusing; and, a 'stumbling block', for many Users/Patrons.
.
As well as the "Knowledge Article" in "FamilySearch" provided by 'Anne', here is another one:
.
I cannot find any close living relatives to grant permission for ordinances
.
I hope this helps further.

I've done this a number of times and it has worked without any problems. As noted, be sure to mention that all closer relatives are deceased. I had several aunts and uncles that never had children and used this when all their siblings were deceased. Made me as nephew one of the closest living relatives.
