The names on a mortgage are not what decides ownership, the deed to the house is the determining factor. Married couples generally own a house by Joint Tenancy With Surviviorship Rights, Joint Tenancy or in a few states Tenancy By The Entirety. Even if one spouse leaves the residence he/she does not lose their rights of ownership.

It depends on how the 2 people owned the property: as joint tenants, tenants by the entirety, tenants in common, and whether the mortgage covered the entire fee ownership or just one joint tenant's interests in it. Too little information to be specific, but if we're talking joint tenants with the right of survivorship, the mortgagor-owner would inherit the deceased joint tenant's share and nothing much would change.
The joint person is still responsible until the loan is paid off or refinanced out of the person's joint name.
