Good spot, thanks! Why would it still be listing or her using the original marriage name, in particular if she was married again?
Because deaths of married women in Scotland are always indexed under all their surnames - maiden surname and surname of every husband they have been married to - assuming the informant knows all that, of course.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
