A refractor might be a good option OoO, especially one of the short FL ones (600mm long), they are portable, light and quick to setup and cool down. Think carefully about longer focal length ones though hozozco. Too long and she will be down on her knees trying to look at the zenith.

If she has good flat access from house to viewing area then an 8" dob on a dob trolly or even using a "fridge" trolly will get her in and out with too much problem
