I say "no", I don't think it's right for her to be fired for what she does on her own time unless it affects her work performance.
Mom says, "hell, yes!, that girl's an asshole and she should be fired".
I'm with your Mom on this one... she's an adult (30 years old), works for a non-profit, and she was on a work related or sponsored trip when this occurred. While she may just be being a self described "douchebag", she conducted herself unprofessionally and potentially made herself a liability for her employer. I can imagine fund raising might be more difficult than it need be because of something like this...
This would be an easy decision if I were her boss. I'd fire her, and the retarded co-worker who took the picture and didn't have enough sense to not.
