There are two possible explanations. Sr. could stand for "Sister," as in a Catholic Nun (i.e. Sr. Mary Catherine).

Or, more likely since you speak of it at the end of a womans' name, it could stand for "Senior"-- as in they have a child named after them (Elizabeth Anne, Jr.) and thus she now needs to differentiate her name slightly (which is where your question enters; Elizabeth Anne, Sr.). It is uncommon to be used on females, however. The tradition for men to use it is more frequent in our culture.
