There are i586 Skype packages for CentOS 7 in the Nux repo:

andhttp://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/skype-4.3.0.37-2.R.i586.rpm

They provide the 32-bit libraries that Skype requires. This will only help Skype run. You 
will have trouble getting other proprietary apps to run so do not use this as a 
"well, 32-bit apps will work" excuse.

I'm assuming there are 32-bit libraries for RHEL/CentOS, just like in Fedora.

There is no 32-bit environment. This is a feature of RHEL 7.

Do you need additional proof?

The primary apps she will need on a linux installation are a high quality (and 
full functionality)
of a pdf reader/creator. That will/might have to be a non-free (money-wise) 
item.
Other than that, either libreofficeor openoffice  plus Firefox will be all she 
needs.
VLC and SMPLAYER will also be required, along with a decent photo gallery viewer
where she can vie the photos in auto-sequencing style or manually click on 
"next".

That's really about it.

I hope you downloaded and burned the 32-bit edition of PCLOS. It has Adobe 
Reader in the repo.
The 64-bit version only has Linux pdf programs.
