Currently, the system intermittenly deactivates the airbag when my wife is seated. (i.e. the light is illuminated) as if a child is present. I'm looking for that high-end threshold, how heavy much a person be for the airbag to be ACTIVE?

It would seem to me that a 120lb woman should be well over the threashold for the airbag to be active. Sounds like the sensor isn't working like it's supposed to.
