No, but her Estate is liable for those debts. I need more facts to explain what the Estate would have to pay and if any Estate would have to be filed in the Probate court i.e assets, debts, how assets are titled, survivors, etc.

Unless your father agreed to be responsible for her debt, he is not. Your mother's estate is.
