Without a roaming plan or add on, she will have no access to the network in the US. Therefore you can't reach her because she will have no signal on any network. Without a roaming plan or add on, she can only use her phone on wifi. You could call her then through messenger, WhatsApp etc but not straight to her phone number.

@RonnieG No not unless she buys US roaming add on or gets a CAN/US plan like you have

If wifi is available you could use WhatsApp to call and text each other. Other then that you will need an add on or a local sim to make calls there.

@RonnieG

Think roaming as cell towers your plan are you on. Canada/US plan will connect to Canada/US towers while in both countries …Canada plan will only connect to Canadian towers while in Canada and not in US. She will need to purchase a US Roaming for service connect to US towers.

Yup, she can receive SMS for free without subscribing to US roaming, but she won't be able to reply or do anything else. She could buy a 15 day roaming add-on that includes calling and texting for as little as $15 though:
