The house would have been left subject to the loan. Either the estate has to pay off the loan or sell the house. Once that is done, then the assets can be distributed. One of the children could obtain a loan and buy the house from the estate.
The children are not directly responsible in Pennsylvania. The estate is responsible to settle all the debts. Until these have been paid, the children are not entitled to receive anything.
Tennessee is not a community property state, if the surviving spouse was not a joint debtor he or she is not responsible for debt incurred by the decedent. The exeption would be, if there is a home that is encumbered by a mortgage and/or loan the surviving spouse will have to continue the agreement whether he or she was named on the lending contract in order to retain possession of the property.
Since the couple were not married the surviving person is only responsible for joint debts only. The status of the home ownership depends upon how the property is titled and the terms of the mortgage agreement.

I'm not trying to be funny, but if you were married (legally) to him at the time of death, yes - who else would be responsible for it?
