Does the Social Security Administration ever recycle old social security numbers of people who have passed away?

No. The Social Security Number (SSN) is retained for the person even after he/she is deceased. The reason for this is that important documents (such as tax records) still maintain the person's SSN. If the identical SSN is given to another individual, it will simply confuse matters.
