Between the double impaling, her life flashing before her eyes, her "dying words", and Shirazu, Saiko, and Hayashimura all not worrying about her anymore, everything so far indicates that she's dead.

Knowing Ishida, he could pull a twist on us (it's crossed my mind), but unless it's established, I think it's fine to assume her dead for now.
