I say yes, get her the free upgrade.
I'm not sure where MS will be taking things in the future, but it's a risk I'm willing to take.
If the start menu/metro interface is what she likes least about 8.1, then put on Classic Shell as mentioned above, regardless of whether you go to 10 or not.
Honestly, if she's the kind of user you describe, it's unlikely she'll notice a difference in the OS one way or the other. You could probably give her a browser and Open Office on Linux for all it would matter to her.
But on 10, she'll have a longer future of updates and support (from people like you, if not MS.)
Dog sitting for tech support. Yeah, that would work for me.
