Assuming that her rate of interest is the same on her deposits ....
i = .07/12 = .005833333...
The "amount" she has at the end of 28 years becomes the "present value" for the next 20 years
let her monthly deposit be x
x [1.00583333)^336 - 1]/.00583333 = 20000 [ 1 - 1.00853333^-240 ]/.0085333
multiply each side by that denominator and its gone
x(6.0590146) = 20000(.75239795)
x = 2483.57
are you sure it was 20,000 per mont and not 2,000?
If it was 2,000 then x = 248.36
