TLDR : Answer Summary
The Non O retirement visa extension does not require proof of health insurance for individuals over 50. However, the individual's wife, who entered on a 60-day tourist visa, cannot obtain a Non O visa extension simply because of her marriage to the visa holder. She must first apply for a 90-day Non O visa from outside Thailand to be eligible for a subsequent extension.

there is no proof of insurance required for a yearly extension based on being over 50 (retirement) from a Non-O visa.

Sadly your wife cannot get an in country Non-O visa issued based on being married to someone who is on a retirement extension because no office will issue it for that reason. She would have to get a 90 day Non-O visa before she comes here and then she could get an extension matching yours
