Bob is correct here. If all she was doing was checking-up to avoid being hit by the ball and the ball passed her prior to her passing the infielder, it is nothing.
From the scenario above, I don't quite get whether the runner waited and then crossed in front before or after the ball passed. If the runner checks-up and then passes in front of the fielder just before the ball reached her, that would be interference, "in my judgment."
