If "isn't she lovely" is a song that you feel "at home" vocally, you are probably a Contralto or a Mezzo-Soprano. I was at one time notorious for singing Stevie Wonder songs in weddings in the original key, and I am a Mezzo. But remember, your voice might change on you because it hasn't begun to finish maturing at your age. It might grow into a higher or lower vocal fach.
Some other songs you might want to look at is anything by Anita Baker, Toni Braxton, Maxwell, Stevie Nicks, Lalah Hathaway, Winona Judd, Luther Vandross, Robin Thicke, Teena Marie to name a few. Just check out any song library of theirs and sing through their songs. and anything involving any female jazz singer. Most female jazz singers are Mezzos or contraltos. That would fit your voice perfectly.
If you are purchasing music material, pick anything marked for medium to low voice.
To really figure out your range (you train to get certain tones) you need usage of a piano. Start from middle C and go up and then go down from middle C.
You'll find your range easiest that way. (With some help from a music teacher!)
Start from the lowest note you can reach on the piano and slowly make your way up (hint: keep your throat low, like when you're saying "duh!" if you want to reach the high notes).
Here's a good website to help you figure out your vocal rage:

(note, you need to be able to read music for that site. At least the basics).
Remember, if your voice is untrained, it's very likely that your actual range is greater than what you can reach right now. With the right technique, you can probably raise your vocal range about half an octave, maybe even more. I managed to raise mine from alto to mezzo-soprano after learning the right singing technique. But don't practice by yourself or you'll risk ruining your vocal chords. Get a good voice teacher to help you.
