It seems that your co-worker should check into what it would cost to cut a door into that garage. Maybe there's no code there requiring a door to be in the garage but as this illustrates, it'd be a good idea to have one. There are 'extra skinny' (24") doors available that should be fairly easy to install.
Otherwise, maybe she should either not use the opener and do it by hand (could be a problem for an elderly lady) or not use the garage.

Although openers are supposed to have the pull cord to manually disengage the door so the door can be manually pushed open, I think there are lots of people who have no idea about the cord and wouldn't know how to use it. It's a good thing to review. I've had to use mine several times when power's gone out.
