Got a call from a person from church, I'd met a couple
times. She got my number from a common friend.

Lights won't work, both bathrooms. And power sockets won't
work either. Been about a month. Single Mom, no money.
Finally she asked around. Who do we know, in the church, who
might know some about electrical. She got my number, and
called.

Several of her friends have looked around, and tried to fix
it. None of her friends could fix. She's getting tired of
needing a flashlight to take a shower.

One "Attaboy" to the first person who correctly guesses the
problem.

GFCI tripped?

GFI Breaker or a wall GFI that feeds both baths.

Wall GFI units have reset buttons in my experience.

Otherwise, look for reset options on breakers in the breaker box.
Non-GFI ones show orangish red when tripped unless defective - push their
levers towards "off" and after that towards "on".

As for GFI breakers in the breaker box - my experience there is very
minor, push a lever towards "off" and after that towards "on", and look
for a "Reset" button to push.

This will fail if the tripping was caused by a problem that is still in
place and capable of causing such tripping. My experience indicates
more-likely-not, but there is some chance this becomes a home repair
issue more significant than unpopping a popped breaker.

Depends on the age of the home.

I had experince with a SoCal condo built ~1987.

Both upstairs bathrooms were powered by a GFI on the garage wall.

When a hair dryer blew the GFI, both bathrooms were without power.

Check for a GFI in an unused / unusual location.

That would typically be a GFCI tripping problem. Age of the house would
help to determine standard GFCI scenario of the day. As DD_BobK pointed
out, it could be located in an unsuspected location such as: Outside,
garage, basement, adjacent to electric panel, or another bathroom.

looks like it's already been covered, but I will also guess a GFCI
feeding both bathrooms that isn't in either one that has tripped.

ATTABOY! I knew you'd get it.

GFCI breaker was tripped, at the panel. Stood out to me,
like shooting off fireworks, (and waving a red flag in front
of a bull) when I looked at the panel. Notice me! it
screamed.

That reminds me. I didn't show her how to do the reset. Or
inform her that if it happens again, might need some repair.
Or, the GFCI is getting old and cranky.

The friends who looked at the problem already, might not
have known to push off, then on.

That's possible, often GFCI sockets protect several outlets.
But in this case, it was a GFCI breaker.

In the panel box. Years ago, I checked prices. The GFCI in
the panel box is much more expensive than a GFCI socket. Not
sure why.

I'm too late for the attaboy but I was gonna guess that it was God's

need to join the Catholic Church to fix this problem for good.

I can't believe anyone would think it was something as simple as a
tripped GFCI. :)

The best thing you could have done was tell/teach her how to get a husband.

It is my opinion that (almost) any woman can have (almost) any man she sets
her mind to. That she often fails in this quest is merely a function of not
knowing how to pull the string. As in:

I keep my pants tied up with a piece of twine,
It keeps me ready all the time,
So if you're mine, baby, if you're mine,
Please pull the twine, please pull the twine.

I had the bathroom go out, shortly after we moved into our previous house.
Same thing, tripped GFCI in the entrance panel. The problem was that the
panel was outside, on the front porch. It gets cold in January in Vermont.
Just having stepped out of the shower didn't make it feel any warmer. That
one circuit powered all three bathrooms *and* the outside outlets. Morons.
