Why should you use 'was' in a question about someone who lived before but who is now deceased rather than using 'is' in the question?

The verb 'is' denotes present tense. A deceased person, the deceased wife of the person, and the deceased children of that person are not living in the present tense. Therefore, 'was' is the appropriate verb.
