She is Orthodox, yes. She's what we call a Baal Teshuvah, a Jewish person raised secular and choosing to become much more religious as an adult.

I can't answer your question about whether there are more strict sects because I'm honestly not familiar with all of them, but my community was super-strict (like, don't get seen wearing jeans strict, unless you want a shunning), and they unquestioningly followed the rule about breaking the commandments to save a life. You could be watching the most Orthodox congregation in the world holding a Sabbath service, and a little old lady faints or a kid has a fever or any number of conditions, and within ten seconds flat the ceremony will stop, somebody will grab a phone for 911, call an ambulance or get their keys and drive for the hospital like a bat out of hell, and the whole congregation will stand there worrying and offering assistance until the crisis has passed. And if they missed the rituals, so be it. Life if more important.

(I have had my share of problems with the Orthodox, but I've always admired that they are so sure of their beliefs that they can go against their beliefs with a perfectly clear conscience if necessary.)
