She doesn't die in Anne of the Island. She's still alive in Rainbow Valley (nearly all Anne's children went to stay at Green Gables while their parents were in Europe). In Rilla of Ingleside, Rilla mentions that "She had been named after Aunt Marilla of Green Gables, but Aunt Marilla had died before Rilla was old enough to know her very well".
