To be garrulous is to be excessively talkative, especially about minor matters. To be pious is to be devoutly religious. Someone, whose late husband is a pawnbroker will probably have middle class status. Thus, based on these words that are used to describe the woman in the passage, the woman can be said to be a middle class woman, who is talkative and religious.
