Yes.
Yes, under certain circumstances. A widow or widower who is disabled may collect survivors' benefits as early as age 50; however, the widow(er) must be at least 60 years old to collect survivors' retirement benefits. If the widow(er) has not yet reached full retirement age (65 for people born before 1943; 66 for people born between 1943 and 1954), the benefit will be reduced. A spouse or divorced spouse of any age may collect survivors' benefits if caring for the deceased person's minor children who are under age 16. Ex-spouses are also eligible for survivors' benefits, using the guidelines above, if the marriage lasted at least ten years.

Perhaps state benefits but not government benefits
No, a widow of a World War 2 veteran would typically not be eligible for survivor benefits if she remarries before the age of 57. If she remarries after that age, she may qualify for benefits. It is advisable to consult with the Social Security Administration for specific details regarding eligibility.
