Excellent diagnosis ... being stiff and cold is a pretty sure indication of death.
(The stiffness will go away, but she'll stay at room temperature.)

Yes, your hamster is likely dying. Two years, though not much time for is, is almost a complete life for a hamster. If she is not in any pain, then just enjoy the time you have left. If she does seem to be in pain, I would recommend visiting the vet. Blessings.

If your hamster is jumpy and looking nervous then you should gently stroke it inside of it's cage and then feed it pieces of food out your hand then that way your hamster will come fond of your smell and will be used to you and when you handle it it wont be nervous no more.

How can you tell if your hamster dead?
If the hamster is not moving or feels stiff to the touch, or if it doesn't respond to touch or other sensations, or if there is no involuntary "rise and lowering" of the body that is typical in normal breathing, it could very well be dead. Also, if the hamster is emitting a strong, "rotten" odor, it lends further credence to the "dead" theory.
