She may still be able to use the existing ticket by paying a change fee and possibly some additional fare. It will depend on the type of fare but if it's a deeply discounted round-trip fare they may charge you the difference up to a one-way walk-up which is probably pricey. In the end it may indeed be cheaper to check options departing other cities on another airline. Try Kayak.com. If you check the box that says

include nearby airports
it will search the whole Bay Area. I just did a search and there's a flight today on United from San Jose (SJC) for $189 USD and on Saturday US Airways has flights out of SFO, SJC and OAK for $173-$189 but she'll have to fly all the way to PHX to connect. Delta also has fares of $173-184 on Saturday.
