There are some very, very rare cases in the medical literature of a fertilized embryo going out of the tubes and into the intestinal area and finding a blood source, and actually growing and forming a placenta and in some cases (one in a billion odds) making it to a live baby.  But these are infinitesimally rare and NEVER done on purpose, they are very risky (could kill the mother at any moment in the pregnancy) and also usually end with the death of the embryo.  So the answer is, no, without a uterus she cannot be pregnant and carry a baby.  If she still has her ovaries there is a slim chance she could have a surrogate carry a baby from her eggs and her husband's sperm, but her age is against her on this because her eggs are no longer young, and it is an extremely expensive process also.  She could look into adoption, if her primary goal is to raise another child.
