Default 97 2.2 stalling issues

My daughter has a 97 Cavalier that has been losing power over the last few months. It would stall once in a blue moon at stops, but now it stalls several times a week. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Thanks. For everyone's info, it was very low on transmission fluid, causing the engine to get too hot and shut down. Hasn't done it since adding.
