If your state has no specific laws related to death of a tenant, personally I would move everything to storage (my garage, or somewhere else cheap and secure) and send a notice of abandonment. I would then wait the abandonment period (usually 30-60 days, state-specific) and then liquidate the belongings to pay for the amounts due and storage costs. I would not leave her things in my rental because the "friends" are likely to feel entitled to break in if you aren't giving them access. They have no right to enter and you are correct in keeping them out. Good luck.
