Yes she was. It is Catholic doctrine that Mary, born without Original Sin, did not have to undergo corruption (decay). It is called the Assumption. There are two equally valid thoughts and both are acceptable to the Church:
1.) On the day her time on earth was over, Mary was assumed, body and soul, into heaven.
2.) Mary died and was buried. A short time later her body was taken into heaven and reunited with the soul. Apocryphal writings seem to support this. Purportedly, the Apostle Thomas was not present at Mary's death but arrived about three days later. When they took him to the tomb they found it empty. All that remained were the burial cloths. This would parallel the resurrection of Jesus. He spent three days in the tomb before rising.
