what state was she born?
May different from states to states, but you could probably get the birth certificate from either the city she was born, county or the state - call them up and see if anyone of them would overnight it for extra fee.

Probably faster too. Your passport application can be delayed for all different reasons, and lack of primary ID could easily delay your application much longer than the time it takes to get a new copy of the birth certificate.
