i think It depends on how long ago the husband died. If it was within the past year Mrs, you wouldnt want to pretend she wasnt married. Past that Ms. You might also look at her actions and age. if she dates, than use Ms. If she is elderly and was married for a long time use Mrs. its shows respect for her time with him.

I think it will still be Mrs but its personal preferance, some prefer to be addressed to as Ms.

I think it's personal preference. My grandfather died close to 30 years ago, yet my grandmother is still Mrs. John Smith (not her real name). No one would think to address something to her as Ms. Mary Smith.

It would be Mrs. unless the widow prefers to be Miss, or Ms. Whatever she prefers, because it is her choice.

As Mrs. She will always be Mrs. _______. Referring to her as Ms is disrespectful and rude. It negates the fact that she was married.

Yeah. My dad exchange into raised Mormon, and the church is rather diverse. confident, men are seen "bigger" than women individuals. Even those Mormons who nevertheless have confidence in polygamy in trouble-free terms enable the boys to have diverse better halves. You in no way see a female with diverse husbands. of direction, the Mormons are not the only church that degrade and devalue women individuals, is it now? I won't flow into each and all of the small print, yet many many faiths are comparable in that appreciate. Even some truly mainstream ones.
