It depends on whether the cause for this is temporary or not and on whether or not the Electoral College has already met and formally appointed her in its December meeting. If a President-elect for instance passes away after being formally appointed by the Electoral College in December but before being sworn in in January, the Vice-President will be sworn in as President.
In case of a permanent incapacity before the December meeting but after the election, things become complicated, all the more so since State Electors from some States sometimes are only authorized to vote for the incapacitated candidate him-/herself and not for any substitute. Also, there is no legal precedent here; President-elects so far only died (if they did) after being sworn in.
In all probability, the Speakers of the Houses of Congress would then temporarily assume the tasks of the Presidency while things were being sorted out.
