I am confused as to what it is or is not doing. You say it "would not crank at all earlier, turning over slowly". What do you mean by "not crank"? Do you mean it would not run or it would not turn over by means of the starter?

When I hear that an engine will not crank I assume it will not turn over by means of the starter.

If it will only crank slowly and then not crank at all I would first suspect a weak battery. Usually a weak battery that is unable to cause the engine to crank over would also display weak headlight illumination. Ask her what the headlights look like when she turns them on.
