after 3 months of her arrival to USA you can file I-130 and I-485 (Adjustment of Status) together to sponsor her green card.

or since she has planned to go home,you could do consular processing. which means you file now and after it gets approved at USCIS, you gather her Birth certificte, death certificate of spouse amongst other things and send to NVC. when they complete their file review they will send her case to consulate in india for interview. study the guides to help you further.
