if you can convert it to reach workable reach/drop numbers for your wife to ride comfortably with available/sensible parts - then yes.

before you get too far along, take some measurements and do some geometry to figure out those numbers.
Good plan. She has been riding this for years as is, but more like a cruiser on local hike-n-bike trails. She would probably rarely ride in the drops as she doesn't on her road bike. The only advantage I see with drop bars is the ability to change positions to relieve hands and body.
