Unless she is a co-owner of the vehicle it becomes the property of the deceased's estate and falls under the control of the Executor of the estate.
Debtors MAY have a legitimate claim against the deceased persons. However they must file their claim against the ESTATE(s) of the deceased persons, not against any particular individual. Unless someone who is still alive co-signed a note or a loan, the creditors have no other claim on anyone, or anything, except the estate that the deceased left behind.
