At best the woman will be convicted of a Class D/E Felony for Negligent Homicide. With a sentence likely between 3 (Class E) - 25 (Class D) years, time off for 'good behavior', parole and so on, and given that she's already 'showing remorse', she'll only get a proverbial slap on the wrist.

I'd sentence her to 3 Full years - no early release, and compell her to record several PSAs for driver attention and motorcycle safety. For the next 25 years, on the anniversary of her crime, she is to stand at that intersection for a minimum of twelve hours with a sign that says "I killed a motorcyclist here. Pay attention to your driving. Look twice for Motorcycles."
