proxy ordinances completed before the actual death

My sister-in-law (a church member) had an uncle and aunt (not church members) with all proxy ordinances completed for them long before their actual deaths (which deaths were only recently). The correct death dates have been recorded in family search now, but should these ordinances be done over again since they should never have been done before they died? The two individuals are Guy Eugene Miller (LQ51-9J9) and his wife Lois June Daems (KHS8-VP1).

    Thank you for your attention to this matter. As you can read below, the policy of ordinances done as proxy for living people must be done again.

    Policy: Completed temple ordinance records are sacred. There are only a few circumstances in which ordinances might need to be redone:         Proxy ordinances were performed in error while the individual was still living.
