If you're just trying to get the tunes in iTunes' maw, it's just a matter of finding the folder in the place you have it and want to keep it now, and dropping it into the iTunes library. Make sure you tell iTunes in the prefs to use that folder.
Otherwise you can check "copy all music to iTunes folder" in the prefs, and then when you drop it in it will copy it to her iTunes folder and it wn't matter where the originals are.

Rebuild the entire iTunes library Depending on the extent of the problem, it may be easier to remove all songs from the library and reimport them. To do this, select all of the songs in iTunes and press the delete key. Then choose the option to keep all the song files themselves, and when the iTunes window is empty open the "iTunes Music" directory and select all items in that directory.
