You don't have her public key to to verify the signature of the data.
It is common for OpenPGP to first sign the data and then encrypt this
signed data.  If gpg can't verify the signature after decryption your
frontend (Kleopatra, I guess) shows this message.

You need to import her public key - that is commonly the same key you
use to encrypt data to her.
