Not unless there was such language in the promissory note or the lender directed that loans would be forgiven upon her death in her will. Otherwise the debt would be owed to the decedent's heirs.

If a second mortgage is forgiven by the private lender are there tax or income implications?

Yes. And it does not matter that the lender is a private lender. If a debt is forgiven the borrower has in effect received money or something of value without having to pay the money back. Proceeds of a loan are not consider income unless the loan is not paid back. It is like the lender paid you an income or gave you a gift. A loan from a private lender that was secured by a second mortgage and later forgiven can be a sign of mortgage fraud. The 'technique' is sometimes used to obtain a loan from a conventional lender (the 1st mortgage loan) where the 1st loan could not be obtained if the lender's underwriter was told the 2nd was going to be forgiven. Documentation in the public record of a possible fraud. Maybe not that likely to be noticed but no less illegal.
