I just feel awkward saying so and so is no longer with the company and that I am their replacement. Is there a nicer way of saying this? She left for a better opportunity but only actually worked here about 8 or 9 months before leaving.

Just say, "I apologize, but _____ is no longer with the company. My name is ___________, can I help you?"

Just that easy, say nothing mean or nice just no longer here. If asked why say pursuing other opportunities weather they quit or got fired.
It happens all the time, I called my mortgage broker this week the girl said he wasn't working there any longer can someone else help you and I said you someone else please. I wasn't about to ask why he wasn't there, I didn't care and knew they couldn't say.

just say what you are, that they are no longer with the company and that you have been assigned this account. People in business understand that people move on to other jobs.

You sound fine, not disgruntled at all, so you should be fine. Just don't bad month her or the company. "She left for a better opportuity" is fine. Just speak the truth and give out as little info as possible.

That's about all you can say - don't feel awkward. She wasn't there all that long, so it's not like the clients have years of history with her - they'll get over it pretty quickly.
