Yes, as long as she was inspected at the border when she entered (often the best proof of that is the I-94 card stapled into the passport), she can adjust her status to that of a permanent resident even if she overstayed and so long as you are a US citizen. She would not have to leave to process the paperwork for a green card under these circumstances.
