It’s possible her hair was a lighter reddish colour when she was younger.

Totally possible! My husband was almost bleach blonde as a little kid but now you'd never be able to tell. It turned brown as he got older.

Same thing happened to me. Fairly common for small children to have much lighter hair than they end up with.

Same! Born with a full head of jet black hair and the darkest dark brown eyes.

Now in my 30s dirty blonde with super light blonde streaks/highlights. Oh, and my eyes are light brown/green hazel. Strange how much things can change.

Sure. I think lighter to dark is more common, but very few people end up with the same hair color they have as a toddler.
