Thank you, Ev, I suppose that means that she didn't marry.
Bit late, but no, it doesn't. Deaths of married women are normally indexed under their maiden surnames as well as all the surnames of all their husbands, assuming of course that the informant had that information.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
