Plants come into fashion and go again.
This nursery used to grow it a few years ago. Maybe they could get one for you.

Also maybe how about a plant that meant something to her. Makes more sense to me to remember a person by a favourite plant not just by one just randomly carrying the name.

Just a thought...does your garden have the right soil/conditions to grow Rhododendrons?
You do not show where you live.

I'd agree with @Silver surfer. If you don't have the necessary conditions, you'd have to grow it in a container, which means more work and care, generally.
In addition to S.Surfer's suggestion, there's also a specialist rhodie nursery called Millais. Perhaps you could contact them.

I would second trying Millais https://www.rhododendrons.co.uk/ They are dangerously close to me and rhodos grow well here.
