You will not be able to. Since it was tied to her AppleID which she has since deleted, only she can request it be released from activation lock. She can start a support request using the link at the bottom of -> How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support


Note she will need documented proof she is the original owner of the device - I.e. the person who purchased it originally from Apple or an Apple Authorized Seller.
