Most likely her married name. Unless, she took the time and effort to revert back to her maiden name.

Are you sure she didn't remarry?

Have you tried looking for all Surnames that the female used. One of my relatives discovered thru me that her Mother's death had been registered in her maiden name, her 1st husbands surname and her last surname. She went to the Registrar to get this changed but they would not do it, apparently deaths can often be registered in all surnames used. Its worth looking into.

Good luck, Lainey x
