Grandmother recently passed, I'm having a hard time with adjectives
Edit: She was incredibly smart, witty and quick with words. She was a wiz at puzzles, games and cards. She could remember long passages of books. I just can't seem to find the right adjectives to describe her.

If your grandmother had keen mental perception and understanding of those things you mentioned, I would say your granny was "perspicacious"
e.g.
"She was much too perspicacious to be taken in by such a spurious argument."
"The perspicacious plumber quickly detected the leakage."
"Although my mom was a perspicacious woman, she was not able to understand why my brother had lied.
