I hope it solves the problem.  I can't see anything in online newspapers about her death and nothing obvious as to where she was buried.

Many Fairmile deaths were buried at Cholsey Church, which are transcribed on FindMyPast. N sign of her there. Otherwise her family may have had her buried near their home.

Berkshire Burial Index has no record of her burial at Cholsey or the Fairmile, so most likely she was taken home by her family for burial.

I don't recall any sort of burial ground at Fairmile itself, but I was quite young when I lived near there in the 1950s. I only know of some being buried in Cholsey churchyard

It's shown separately from St Mary's, Cholsey, under the heading 'County Lunatic Asylum'.
Burials are listed from 1894 to 1917.

Doesn't sound as if it was used for long, maybe near the chapel. Although that wasn't far from where they had fetes and sports, so I'm surprised I don't remember it.
They had games and competitions for both residents and non-residents. My mother and my aunt entered the three legged race once and won a prize. They were nearly given vouchers (prize for residents) rather than the alternative prize for non-residents!
