What happened to Mrs. Russel?


At the beginning of the movie the real Archbishop is greeted by his housekeeper/assistant Mrs. Russel, then goes into his room and is murdered. Did they ever acknowledge what happened to this woman? I've seen this dozens of times but can't remember if they ever mentioned this or not.

She had to quit her job when her husband died. Later she learned that her late husband had been delinquent in paying taxes, so their house was seized and auctioned off by the IRS. Luckily, her grandson became a professional golfer and saved it for her.
