Just because your name has changed doesn't mean that you don't have to pay credit card debts. They are still your debts to pay.

Who is responsible for credit card debt when a person dies in New York State?

If the person left a Will then Probating the Will will pay all debts the person has left behind and what is left in the Estate (is called 'residue) and this is what is left for the Heirs in the Will. If the person dies without a Will whatever they have is sold and debts paid off, but it's not up to next of kin (unless their name is on the credit card application) to pay the debt. Example: If a husband passes away and the husband and wife's name is on the Credit Card (it usually is) then the wife is responsible for the Credit Card debt.

Do community property widows pay credit cards in based on non-community property states?

If your name is on the credit card as the primary card holder or as an authorized user, you are responsible for the bill. If the card was in your husband's name only and you were beneficiary to his assets, you are responsible for paying his debts first. As his spouse you share in the debts accrued while you were married. Those debts don't go away when he does, regardless of where you live. You were not divorced (I assume because you call yourself "widow") when the cards were used. If that were the case, you would have legal ground to refuse to pay them. I don't see that you have any grounds in this case.
