Looking for Jane Pirt

I wonder if anyone can find the whereabouts of Jane Pirt nee Horne who was born about 1831 in Moreton in Marsh Gloucestershire. She is on the 1881 census as a widow living in Bury St Edmunds Suffolk. She was married to John Pirt who died in 1874 in Bury St Edmunds, but I can't find her after 1881.
Thank you for looking.

The burial transcription is on FMP. The death index gives the same age.

I noted the children were under the name Purt in 1891. There are also a couple of small articles in the paper listing her as Purt.
