The Hutchesontown bit makes quite a difference .... As Lodger says the nearest non denominational Cemetery was the Southern Necropolis (and possibly the most likely)

Given your ancestors faith it is also possible that she may have attended the nearest Episcopalian Church - St Andrews by the Green http://www.theglasgowstory.com/image/?inum=TGSA01029  which is a relatively short walk from that Rose Street. Although there was a Church of Scotland Parish Church  and a UF Church just around the corner (both Presbyterian).
My lot came from Thistle Street nearby.

Thanks for the Gorbals link Falkyrn. The photos are wonderful - very atmospheric, the buildings amazing - it's so sad that so many have been demolished.  :'(
