What do I need to do while I'm with her to get it registered to me and not
to her? It is an old iPhone and hasn't been on a network in years.

I charged it to 100% and went to the gear settings icon.
It's still logged in as her.

Are you sure you can just reset it?
What if it has the Find My crap on it?
 
You probably aren't aware of how Android does it but if you simply follow
instructions to reset Android, you're screwed forever (after Android 9).
 
You can't factory reset most Android phones without deleting the Google
Account first, even though almost no instructions say to do that.
