I think that the only way that Mary could not be real was if she never truly existed in the first place. Let's say that I am John and that all of reality is just a random daydream that my real self is having. Then every time Mary left me, she would cease to exist because her only existence was as a figment of my imagination. Her death is actually a minor issue because all she would need to do is leave the room to achieve a similar effect.
Personally, I do not believe that I am the only reality in all of existence. I think, therefore I am, but you also think, therefore you should be too. Mary's reality continued all the way up until her death and her remains are still a part of this reality even after she is gone.
