I can`t help with online newspapers, but this is her death index entry to narrow the date down.
It might be worth you contacting the Anglesey Archives, they will probably have newspapers on microfilm and will do a search for you.
It`s a bit pricey though  :o  Maybe a look up request will result in some kind person williamd to help.

Anglesey archives have the local papers in book form if you can find out the date it happened then they might look up the newspaper and photograph it for you at a price check first incase things have changed
