There are i586 Skype packages for CentOS 7 in the Nux repo:

They provide the 32-bit libraries that Skype requires. This will only help Skype run. You will have trouble getting other proprietary apps to run so do not use this as a "well, 32-bit apps will work" excuse.

I'm assuming there are 32-bit libraries for RHEL/CentOS, just like in Fedora.

There is no 32-bit environment. This is a feature of RHEL 7.

Do you need additional proof?

The primary apps she will need on a linux installation are a high quality (and full functionality) of a pdf reader/creator. That will/might have to be a non-free (money-wise) item. Other than that, either libreofficeor openoffice plus Firefox will be all she needs. VLC and SMPLAYER will also be required, along with a decent photo gallery viewer where she can vie the photos in auto-sequencing style or manually click on "next".

That's really about it.
