Do you mean that you have her phone passcode, to get into the phone?

If you can access her phone, you can open the photos app and either Airdrop all of the pictures to your device, email then to you, create a shared album and share it to you, etc.


If you cannot access the device and cannot access iCloud, you can request access from Apple. How to request access to a deceased family member's Apple accounts - Apple Support
