Did she have her house number on a lighted lamp post? I would think it much easier to see there than in a darkened window.

I was under the impression the number in the window was so the contractors and sales people could locate the house. Once the the house sold and the lamppost sign went up the window number was redundant.

I was once an EMT in a volunteer ambulance corp in a rural area up North. We had to read names on mail boxes . Sometimes it would involve a long driveway with the house in a wooded setting. Very frustrating but we never caused undue harm because of difficulty finding the address.
