Yes. When a couple divorces, it is very common for the wife to keep the last name of her ex husband if she chooses, but she is now "Mrs. Jane Smith" instead of Mrs. John Smith". In other words, she can no longer use his first name, but can keep his last name as long as she wants to, even for life. The fact that her ex husband died after the divorce has no bearing on whether or not she can continue using his last name, because it is now her name, too, for as long as she wishes to go by that name.
