The best way is to send for her death certificate to see where she was when she passed away and check the nearest cemetery's

Urmston is now under Trafford Council - if she was buried in one of their cemeteries (there is one at Urmston) there are contact details on this link - they do charge for lookups:

Equally there were a few churchyards open or there could be a family connection to another area - eg Manchester or she could have been cremated - Manchester Crematorium (a few miles away) was open then.

If you can be more exact on date of death Trafford Local Studies Library has a research service (again they charge) and may be willing to search newspapers to see if there was an announcement:
