That's very inconsiderate and unfortunate. I'm sorry, both for your loss and the recurring reminder. Please tell both your county and state that she's passed.

Election administration in jurisdictions I studied have data feeds for deaths. Her death certificate and her voter registration details were not properly matched. It happens. Record linking across disparate demographic databases is not perfect.
Generally, but YMMV:
States admin their statewide voter registration (VRDB), with the largest counties co-managing their own subset. Some groups of states share their VRDBs, to better scrub for changes of address and so forth.
County auditors (or equiv) conduct election administration. Like candidate filing, issuing ballots, signature verification, tabulation.
In a perfect world, someone would notice if a postal ballot was signed and dated after your grandma passed.
