Hi Nessie,
Both have the sense of being satisfied and relaxed but 'content' is usually used predicatively and 'contented' as an epithet. She seems to be very content with her life and achievements and could well be described as a contented person.

Thanks a lot, Alan :)
I've understood the usual use of "content" as a predivative, but about the use of "contented" as an epithet, could you please give me some more examples to illustrate that?
Many thanks once again :)
