Update:
We are going to provide a month's pay as severance.

I won't bring up the fact that she lied to me at all.

The conversation will be all around the most important reason as to why she is being let go...we are restructuring and cannot keep an extra assistant and instead need to hire another sales person.
Performance issues and dishonesty aside, this is the real truth.

Then I'd handle it like this:

1- Make sure there is another person (Mgr/Dept head) in attendance.
2- Have her Severance package in hand.
3- Tell her about restructuring and thus why her position is being done away with. I would NOT mention hiring another sales person. At all.

4-Wish her the best and then say "so-in-so" will help you gather your things and walk you out.

DO NOT get into a discussion with her. Be direct and to the point.

of course in the military you don't get fired. But bosses have ways of getting rid of people they don't want around.

I was once sent to a base that had some real dickheads working there. People who had been there a long time and essentially thought they were part of their own Army. Anyway, there was this one particular dickhead. He followed UCMJ guidelines, but just barely. I just didn't want him around, but upon discussing it with others learned that this guy was a total dickhead willing to confront anyone , superior officer or not. Confrontation doesn't serve anyone. So I didn't even talk to the guy about it . I had him transferred, had all his belongings shipped to his new duty station and cancelled his security pass so that the next day he simply couldn't get in the building.

He had to go to security , was directed to personal and informed that he had been transferred. Nice and tidy.
