IF you insist on a revolver , look at full sized revolvers (if not looking for a concealed carry revolver). The weight will help a LOT with the recoil issue.

Personally, I'd have her look at .380 semi-autos. They aren't that hard to learn.

It's not me insisting on revolver, I promise And she has her ccp, so it would be for concealed carry purposes 99.8% of its use.

Very few women over 60 can rack the slide of a 380, arthritis is very common, and strength declines with age. Neither my wife,or her sisters, all in their 60s can even deal with the slide on a full size 9mm semi-auto, they all have revolvers.
