Safe.
AND obstruction, likely.
Question, since you were there, and I wasn't... when the runner FIRST veered off of her direct line to the plate, was the ball still on it's way to the catcher, or was it in the possession of the catcher.
PS - the 3-feet thing applies to her movement while avoiding the tag, not her movement after the tag attempt is over (losing her balance, so to speak). This is my reason for the safe call, even without the OBS.
