Does the promise still stand?

Years ago a customer at my work did a very generous, kind thing for me and made me promise not to tell anyone what she did. I have kept the promise. Well a couple of days ago I found out that she died last week and I have been wanting to tell people who knew her how kind she was to me years ago.
So would I be breaking the promise I made if I mentioned what she did, since she is dead now? Genuinely curious. I'm a very honest, moral person and would never want to break a promise I made. Not sure if her death would mean the promise is void now?

I get the point that once a promise is made it is for good. On the other hand, it would be paying a tribute to the lady's kind nature. Maybe if you just made a general comment like "She once did something nice for me" and leave it at that.

@autumngirl27 I did do that a few days ago. Her sister came through my line at work and started showing me pictures of her sister and talking about her and asking me how she looked when she came in last. In our conversation, I said " she was a wonderful person- years ago she did something very kind to me and I always enjoyed talking to her "
