Farting is rude but sometimes cannot be avoided. Pointing someone out for doing so is rude too but can be avoided.
It is your choice. Your question sounds like you are concerned to know if it is rude or not so I think you will make the right choice.
I think farting is a natural occurrence of the body, even if you're healthy, might even be pleasurable if you're not bothering anybody. You cannot never fart or you would get pain in your belly if you try. On some occasions where you're not alone, you should distance yourself from others (unless you're a husband and you think it's OK to fart in the presence of your poor wife without even apologizing...). Sometimes, in the case of closed space, like an elevator, you cannot leave so you try to hold it but sometimes you fail and you already feel embarrassed about it (next time you go do a colonoscopy, you'll take the stairs). The last thing you need is the guy who caught you to rat you out.
Some people fart on purpose, just to piss you off, and that is really rude, and I think you may punch them in the face.

*If you are a real gentleman and realise that a lady had some small misfortune then you are supposed to plead guilty in her place and formally excuse yourself.
*If you cannot blame the dog because there aren't any around, you may try to shoot an embarrassed look at the nearest of your companions. However, everybody knows this trick and it is extremely likely to fail. The same is true for raising your volume while speaking, or moving your chair in an attempt to cover the sound.
*Pretending to be innocent can help, but only if you manage to keep yourself from asking questions like 'Ooooh, who did that?'. Because everybody knows that whoever smelt it, dealt it, or whoever denied it, supplied it.
*Farts can bring more excitement into wedlock if administered in a Dutch Oven2: this is where one partner lets go a huge fart, pulls the duvet cover or bed sheets over the head of their loved one, trapping them in a confusion of methane, while shouting triumphantly, 'Dutch oven! Dutch oven!' The person trapped will wriggle like an eel, the trapper will then nearly die laughing and it will all end up in a really boisterous play fight. Of course, this is all in questionable taste.
*Passing wind in a lift is strongly advised against. There is no way for the victims to escape or open a window, and revenge may follow immediately.
*It is wise to stay clear of suspect food well before such important occasions as a job interview, the school ball, receiving a Nobel prize, or asking your girlfriend the 'big' question.
*You should know what's about to happen if someone stretches out their hand to you and asks you to pull their finger. There's danger ahead. Don't do it!
*If everything else fails and everybody is staring at you, you may try to turn the wrongdoing into an accomplishment: put on a proud face, declare it as an achievement, and challenge your mates to beat you with an even louder one. But be prepared for a reply along the lines of 'Pray for your soul because your body is already rotten.'

Yes it would be rude, maybe she has some medical condition and can't help it, I would make sure I didn't ride the elevator with her anymore.

Well, think about it for a second. Suppose is was you who farted. Would you want to be pointed out? And what's the big deal about farting? We all do it. It's normal and natural. Why this thing that it's supposed to be something wicked or naughty or some such other crap?

Why bother, it is a natural act, even the queen farts, the only difference is she spells it with a PH

If you did that, everyone would assume YOU really did it. It won't work, sorry. Just hold your breath til you get off the elevator.
