The woman is somewhat insane obviously and she kills the construction worker because she loved him and any one she ever loved had left her so she figured if she killed him he would never leave her. At the end of the story when the people searching through her house were trying to identify the source of the smell, they found his corpse laying in a bed upstairs and an imprint in the bed next to him with crusty nose drippings on the pillow. Eww!

"A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner

""A Rose for Emily" recounts the story of an eccentric spinster, Emily Grierson. An unnamed narrator details the strange circumstances of Emily’s life and her odd relationships with her father, who controlled and manipulated her, and her lover, the Yankee road worker Homer Barron. When Homer Barron threatens to leave her, she is seen buying arsenic, which the townspeople believe she will commit suicide with. After this, Homer Barron is not heard from again, and is assumed to have returned north. Though she does not commit suicide, the townspeople of Jefferson continue to gossip about her and her eccentricities, citing her family's history of mental illness. She is heard from less and less, and rarely ever leaves her home. Unbeknownst to the townspeople until her death, in her upstairs room she hides all day with the corpse of Homer Barron, which explains the horrid stench that emits from Miss Emily's house."
