I just ran the sentence "kanojo wa okoriyasui" by my girlfriend, who is 
a native speaker, and she said that it sounds fine to her. After that, 
I checked "-yasui" in the dictionary, and one of the example sentences 
is "Toshi no sei ka tukareyasuku natta" meaning "I find that I tire 
quickly [easily] these days; I must be getting old." This describes a 
person.
