I'm assuming you know her maiden name and where she's from. In this case, you can start by looking in phone directories in that area. There's a good chance you won't find her by last name since she's probably remarried. However, there's a chance you might come across a brother, uncle, or grandparent.

If you can find her current name, one of the best first steps is to simply Google her name in quotes.

Another idea is to search newspaper web sites for engagement/marriage announcements.

If you can't find anything about her where she grew up, then I would try the genealogy library with the LDS church. They have the most complete genealogy library in the US (if not the world) and there is a good chance they will have her family tree. This should help you find some names and locations - if not her current name and location.

Once you find some names, the main thing is just to start making phone calls. When someone answers, just say "Hello, my name is ____, and I'm trying to find a relative. Do you know ______".

I have found family member in the past by doing this exact thing. It took some time and I had a lot of disappointments but it finally paid off.
