Theres pretty much nothing without a zoom or so on, unless you go down to a kids camera.

Your best bet is going to be a Canon like the E1 or A1000/2000. They have "easy Auto" modes that are basically just zoom, flash auto/off and the shutter release. Thats about as easy as youre gonna get without, as i said, getting a kids camera. Even then, youre likely to have some bells/whistles and the buttons will be labelled in small type.

The nice thing with the A1000x2000 is that it either still has the viewfinder (a rarity in new P&S cameras) or a HUGE 3" screen (largest for P&S cameras). They also use AA batteries, which makes one less bit of tech she needs to learn
