A couple of quick questions:
Do you have a latest known date and location for Mary being alive (such as baptism of children)?
Do you know where husband Samuel died?
This would help narrow the search (allowing for inaccurate reporting of age I looked on FamilySearch for deaths 1754 onwards in Devon for Mary born 1730-1750 and got 97 hits)

Nice find.
That knocks around six years off the search for a death.
