Could be that the dizzy crapped out on her, maybe it was a junkyard or defective one? You should obviously check for spark and fuel to see where you need to go next though.

Slow cranking + woman = cranked too long and drained her battery trying to restart it LOL. It could possibly be a loose ground wire on the starter too.....
