I'm not sure that this is a correct usage of noblesse oblige but ignoring that, I would expect:
Present: She donates all her money to others. I think she is a true example ...
Past: She donated all her money to others. I think she was a true example ...

The tense are just different:
- She was in the past (for example last year), but no longer today:
Past: I think she was a true example of noblesse.
- She is still today:
Present: I think she is a true example of noblesse.
