I cannot pinpoint why this is making me personally rage, but congrats for making an emotionally visceral thread.
You will have to elaborate just a little more, please.
How is a person protecting their livelihood "emotionally visceral"?

The question isnt related to my position, but protecting your livelihood can be emotionally visceral it puts bread on the table. It threatens a person's well being at a basic level of Maslow's pyramid.
I don't know why I am advocating on behalf of a smelly person I know nothing about. I honestly have no idea why it is making me upset.

Take heart.
If this is a small town, the OP must know some cops, and perhaps they know this woman?
They could make inquiries as to the woman's next of kin, who might be of some help.
Since you don't know her situation, perhaps approach her tactfully and ask if she needs any assistance. ...

Thank you for all the advice. To answer some doubts, I/we are concerned for her well being and want to help the situation. ....
tell her what the problem is in a polite manner.
Rather you than me...She might cause a huge scene making matters worse than they are already.
Since you don't know her situation, perhaps approach her tactfully and ask if she needs any assistance. Maybe offer her the services of your own bathroom or point her in the direction of a local charity place that can help her clean up. Offer her a ride to the nearest place.
The answer is simple but wording it sure won't be. I wouldn't try to patronise her with verbose solutions for her to seek help unless she seems interested in hearing it. Have the info to hand but I wouldn't go in expecting to say it all. I might just say that I'm sorry to have to bring up a delicate matter but we're receiving complaints about your body odour. Although it's always been a pleasure to serve you, I can't alienate other guests so this must be addressed before you next return. (Something to that effect.) Best of luck.
"The Management Reserves The Right To Refuse Service" At least, that works in the UK. You may offend a community member yes, but it's your livelihood we are talking about here.
