Photoshop Elements 4

[AJH748]

Hi

This is a pic of my Aunty Mary who unfortunately passed away a few days ago.
I've been asked to print some memorial poems etc with a pic of her.
This is the best I can find at the moment but I need to get rid of the distracting background.

Can anyone point me to a tutorial on Elements 4 on how change the background on this pic to just plain white please.
I've also got GIMP if that's any easier.

Many thanks

Alan
