Point and shoot (small pocketbook cam?) or a bigger body model?  
What is your price range (roughly) ?  
I might be looking to sell my dslr/kit lens if you’re interested.

Site has good in depth reviews of most popular cameras from cheap point and shoots, to pro Dslrs. Lot’s of good info and test shots, I usually look to see what I can afford and then read and compare reviews to see what I want from my price range.

FWIW I just recently bought a Canon PowerShot SX and am very satisfied with the quality/abilities and it takes decent HD video as well. I paid ~300 from Wally’s world.

Not pocket but something she can keep in her purse and doesnt have a huge big adjustable lense or anything really.

Get a Canon PowerShot. Definitely purse’able and will take quality photos.

Walmart or Target tends to have decent cameras. Nikon, Canon, Kodak, Samsung even, just stick to reputable names. 8-10mp with 3x zoom is like the norm for around $100 now. Make sure it has rechargeable battery and doesnt use AA. Also you want one that takes SD cards, as those are the basic standard pretty much now.
