Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Best to change the front chainring and the rear cassette and have her only use the rear derailleur when riding. In fact you could get away with leaving the 46T chainring and going to a wider range rear cassette. Try a 11-36T set of rear cogs and if the detrailer cannot handle the 36T then change the rear deraileur to a mid range one.

I'm using my old, basic, Altus derailleur with a goat-link on an 11-50 cassette. Shifts super fine!
