A lot of people, when faced with the definite end of their life, don't wish to have to say goodbye to everyone they once held dear. To every one of you, it's saying goodbye to one person- to the person dying, it's saying goodbye a thousand times. Every goodbye hurts. You get your closure... but they just get more goodbyes.
Unless you were close enough for her to want to tell, you may just want to keep your closure to yourself.
The thing is, she likely also wants to know that people care about her and will miss her. The best way to broach the subject is to say you felt bad for losing touch, because your friendship meant a lot. If you're meant to know, she'll tell you.
Don't take it personally if she doesn't, though... everyone grieves differently.... especially over their own death.
