Entire sentences do not have parts of speech; instead individual words or small groups of words do. Other groups of words may function as a single part of speech, but each word or small word group within such a phrase or clause is still usually assigned its own part of speech. In the sentence given:
- "Aunt May" is a noun, a proper noun; some would prefer to say that each of "Aunt" and "May" is a noun, and one of the nouns is in apposition to the other;
- "chirped" is a verb in its past tense;
- "when" is a subordinating conjunction introducing an adverbial clause;
- "she" is a pronoun, standing in for "Aunt Mary";
- "met" is a verb (in its past tense);
- "the" is an article (both instances);
- "girls" is a plural noun;
- "at" is a preposition;
- "door" is a noun.

Would the word relative in the following sentence be the subject a direct object an indirect object or a predicate noun Aunt Kay is most interesting relative?
In addition to the question you asked, I will point out that "Aunt Kay is most interesting relative" is incorrect English grammar. It is missing the Article of Speech (which are a, an, the). The correct wording would be "Aunt Kay is a most interesting relative." You use 'a' before a word with a consonant, and because you are referring to one specific 'relative': Aunt Kay.
