Even if they kept their last name I would put Ms. My mom kept her last name when she was divorced, but only because she didn't want a different name than her children. I would stick with Ms. for any divorced women and Mrs. for widowed women.

I always thought Ms. was for when you wanted to be ambiguous?
I use Ms. at work so that my clients can't figure out my marital status.
So..when in doubt use Ms....

Just got this from Wiki:

'Ms (UK) or Ms. (USA, Canada, Ireland) (pronounced /m?z/ or /m?z/[1]) is an English honorific used with the last name or full name of a woman. According to The Emily Post Institute, Ms. is the default form of address for women, regardless of marital status, in the U.S.[2]'
