No she didn't. Any good description of the history of the word "bug" would include this 1878 quote from Edison:
It has been just so in all of my inventions. The first step is an intuition, and comes with a burst, then difficulties arise — this thing gives out and [it is] then that 'Bugs' — as such little faults and difficulties are called — show themselves and months of intense watching, study and labor are requisite before commercial success or failure is certainly reached.
Or read the log entry from the team "First actual case of bug being found", which has a clear interpretation that that word was used before then.
