If her low gear now is a 39x25, but the gear she found comfortable was a 30x26, then she's going to need to swap crank and cassette to even get close. A 34x28 is almost as short as her old low. But anything over 27T rear would probably require an alpine RD, yes?
OTOH, a 30x25 is even slightly lower.
So it doesn't look like there are any cheap solutions unfortunately. It might be just as simple to get the triple and keep the cassette and RD? Especially if her lever is triple-compatible?
