    She would still be known as Mrs. Dan Young ... Ms. is not used in this case.

    always,

    Ladyitch

    p.s. She can use Mrs. Daisy Young ..but most elderly prefer to go by Mrs. Dan Young

    (her husbands name)

    She goes by Aunt Daisy, to you.

  • Depends on what she prefers. I only know of a couple widows, both still went by Mrs until they became involved with someone else later on. Then it was Ms.

    By their name.

    Many say Ms but someone recently widowed will find that offensive and would prefer Mrs.

    You call your Aunt just AUNT

    Other people should address her as: Ms.

    She doesnt lose her Mrs title just because her husband passed. She can be called whichever she prefers.
