She is.
Her dad was.
Her mom was as well.

Doing a simple Google search brings up the following:

You’d be right–handed with either one or two copies of the right hand gene. To be left–handed, both copies would have to be the left hand gene. So if two lefties had a baby, the baby should turn out left–handed. … For example, if both parents are right–handed, there is a 1 in 10 chance of having a left–handed child. June 3, 2005
I’m just curious about the genetics of handedness. Both of my …

According to Wikipedia:

Handedness displays a complex inheritance pattern. For example, if both parents of a child are left-handed, there is a 26% chance of that child being left-handed.[14] A large study of twins from 25,732 families by Medland et al. (2006) has indicated that the heritability of handedness is roughly 24%.[15]

        Ok I’m b neg. I’m ambidextrous, favor my right hand, yet can write paint play piano and I’m a dental hygienist using both hands. My mother left handed, father right handed but claims born left handed forced to use right hand. So there were five children born to my parents father b neg mother A positive . One brother one sister left handed one brother one sister right handed. Three rhesus negative children two rhesus positive. I’m ambidextrous, never asked the right handed sister or brother if they were ambidextrous…confusing…but factual. So I know within my mothers line rhesus negatives also but she was A positive.
