Well, I would give if she can make good use of the coins. And you have to make sure she is worth that amount... so, that should be for people who can properly manage the money and wouldn't be too shocked when you hand it to to them. I have read stories of people who unexpectedly win huge prizes from betting and misuse the money or couldn't handle it.
If she doesn't really qualify by the above standard, I would split the money and share to more people.

In my point of view it would really depend on how she will take it, what I mean about that is she a person that needs the monetary assistance your Bitcoin will give or will she be more appreciative on receiving gifts that aren't exactly money? Because when you think about it when you say a "gift" you are looking at items and not money, on the other hand if we are talking about money you will always think about it as a donation and not as a gift. At least take this into consideration first if she needs the money or not as she might like having real gifts rather than money from you.
I have been thinking...
Would it be totally crazy, if I gave 10-15 bitcoins to a woman, who helped me in a really really big way when I was younger.

There is nothing wrong with showing gratitude to someone who has been helpful to you, but I still think the amount could be a bit problematic, considering that as you say the woman is married and such a gesture can definitely be misinterpreted - especially if she has a very jealous husband
Furthermore, you would have to explain to her what and how she will handle this BTC, and in case of sale she would have to pay taxes or prove that she received the BTC as a gift, which again mean that you have to identify yourself as the one who gave them and prove the origin of coins/money. Maybe it would be best to give her cash, so you and her would definitely avoid some of the complications that can arise from all of this.
I would gladly give them to her, but I fear it could have a negative effect to what little friendship we have
Money often connects people, but it also destroys families and makes enemies out of friends - I would be careful, not only for friendship, but also for your and her safety when it comes to so much money.

I mean, would she think I was crazy if I do it?
Would it be a positive thing? Or just weird?
The coins were not worth much when I got them, so from that perspective, it's not THAT big a deal, right?

And she is married with kids, so while I will always like her, there is no hidden agenda on my part here.
