Well, it seems the writing is on the wall. Employers are loath to let long-time employees go, particularly if they're close to retirement. Age discrimination lawsuits are too much of a hassle and expensive to settle, so they'll try to keep the employee on until they're eligible for early retirement. Assuming she has some sort of retirement package with the company, she's probably eligible to retire at 55, which means it's definitely worth sticking it out for another year or two. And 55 isn't too old to start a second career; a friend of mine retired from one employer at 55, then went right to work for a competitor the next week.
You don't say if she's been offered some sort of severance or early retirement package. That might sway things towards leaving now. Otherwise she should stick it out. Conversely, if her employer doesn't have a retirement plan, then there's no incentive for her to stick around.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
