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'm not a fan of working from home. Too many distractions, particularly if there are other family members home during the day. But some folks like it, and she may find she enjoys her new job. "More stress and workload" sounds like customer service, which isn't everybody's cup of tea but she might just find she likes it.

I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
