Second wife of Alois Hitler (his first wife was Anna Glassl Hitler), they had two children, Alois Jr (born 1882) and Angela (born 1883), half siblings of their future half-brother, Adolph Hitler, who was born to Alois' third wife, Klara.

There is no record as to what happened to her remains, but it is likely that after the period of repose ended (in Austria 25-30 years), the grave was reused.
Bodies do not get embalmed in Austria, so they decompose naturally. Depending on the soil that process takes 15-20 years. The coffin will be gone totally by that time, and only natural clothing is allowed, so nylon, no artificial fabrics. Should there be bone fragments left, they will be reburied in the cemetery's anonymous section and the grave reused.
