The best I can advise is to just not pay the bill and they will cancel it.  They will ding her credit but at that stage in life it does not matter.  I had the same problem when my mother died and I just did not pay the bill.

How do I get a refund for my 95 year old mother for an account that was canceled over a year ago

My parents moved from their home to assisted living Nov 2  of 2018.  We had canceled Direct TV on that date or before (we can't remember).  Two weeks later Dad passed away, and last week I finally looked at my Mom's checking account, and noticed that she was still being charge for DirectTV service.
