My wife turned 701/2 in 2018. She withdrew enough money to cover her RMD. Can she pay it this year and thus avoid two payments in 2019? Thank you.

Since 2018 has passed, your 2019 RMD amount can be established.
(The first RMD had to be calculated on the 2017 year-end value)
There are not two payments, tax on your distributions will be due April 15 2020.
