No. The wife doesn't need a Power of Attorney because her husband executed one. If the wife is "on her husband's account" then it's a joint account and the wife can still do her own banking. However, if the wife wants to be able to have someone else do her banking for her then she will also need to execute a POA naming the daughter as her attorney-in-fact.
