Hi,
I do appreciate your concern for your sister. Epilepsy is a condition in which a recurrence of seizures after a gap of years is very much possible. However, it will also be important to undergo thorough evaluation for ruling out any other cause.
I would recommend that you should consult a neurologist for getting your sister evaluated and re-initiating anti-epileptic medications as required.
I do hope that you found this answer helpful. Best wishes.
