She can apply to have the conditions removed of her green card alone but she will have to prove that the marriage was entered in good faith.
"If your marriage was terminated other than by the death of your spouse, you must submit the following:
* USCIS Form I-751 (Petition to Remove the Conditions on Residence)
* Copy of USCIS Form I-551 (Permanent Resident Card)
* Evidence that you entered in the marriage in good faith, and not to evade the immigration laws of the United States. Examples of such evidence includes, but is not limited to:
o Leases showing that you and your spouse lived in the same place
o Documents that prove that you and your spouse owned property together
o Birth certificates of your children
o Copy of your divorce or annulment decree
o Evidence that you were not at fault in failing to file the petition on time, if applicable.
"

She'll die. Eventually. Happens to everyone, y'know.
Seriously, though, it's probably never too early to start the ball rolling on permanent residence.
