Sorry for your loss.

In the case of a dependent who passes away during the year, you can claim them if they meet the usual tests for the period of time they were alive. In the case of a parent, you can claim them as a dependent if their taxable income was less than $4400 and you provided more than half their financial support. (Remember that although social security is often non-taxable income, it still counts as support the person provides themself. So you have to provide more than half their total support after including their income and other resources.)

Yes, you can claim her as a dependent. If someone died during the year, you can claim that relative as a dependent for the whole year as long as they lived with you up until their death.
