Update:
The last time she got stranded she had NOT locked the car--it was just a gas up stop. So, realizing the car had never acted this way before I changed the starter, plus all the alarm stuff AND your good comment, I figure it had to be a loose connection of the small 12 volt connector for the solenoid on the starter.
Jacked it up and pulled the brown plastic connector out, cleaned the inside, closed the metal opening of the connector down a little with a small screwdriver, and reconnected it. So far so good. We shall see.
