Can you call one of the bosses? If so, don't ask him if he is having a retirement party. Instead, ask him *when* it is and sweetly offer to bring some old pictures and a book for everyone to sign. Tell him how much she's enjoyed her years there. And, if you're feeling really nervy, volunteer to help consult on the going away gift.
If you can't call the boss, how 'bout calling a couple of co-workers to arrange things. Again, don't as "if," ask "when."
Just one suggestion.
