If the problem is browsers that are not supported, perhaps all you need to to is update the browser.
I very much agree. I think that Patsy will be overwhelmed by backing up, upgrading her OS, and then sorting out all of her software that needs to be replaced.
I used to recommend that folks routinely upgrade their OS, but now I recommend that you stand pat unless there is something really important that a new OS will bring you. I especially recommend standing pat for seniors.
Patsy has an 8 year old Macintosh. She will likely need a new Mac in two to three years. When the day comes that she has purchased a new Mac, she can use Migration Assistant to move all of her data to a new Mac. For now all that she needs is to download a Web browser that works reliably under High Sierra.
This one is made to order:
Chromium-legacy (free)
"(Chrome stable channel)" for Mac OS X 10.7 to macOS 10.14
