Honestly, its not really worth your time to worry about. Find her a good CD and take the money out when needed.
The difference between a 1.5% CD and a conservative equities/ bond investment is really not enough for anyone to worry about get her upset about. You are talking the difference of $2000-3000 after taxes a year. I'd just let her live without worry.
As said, its great she wants to worry about giving her heirs some money but she should have done that 40 years ago and saved a bit more. At this point she needs to just take care of herself.
