    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Just in passing ...

    Despite, the fact, that one of those 'FamilySearch Person identifiers' PIDs, has been marked; as, "Deceased" ...

    [ When, it should NOT be ... ]

    As, your Aunt, is STILL "Living" ...

    Short Answer: NOT, if the OTHER Two (x2) "Living" PIDs, are in the "Private Spaces", of DIFFERENT Users/Patrons ...

    Plus ...

    As an aside ...

    The 'Status', of that "Living" PID should, be "Changed", from "Deceased", to "Living", IMMEDIATELY ...

    Just my thoughts.

    We have searched the ID's you listed and have found the record marked deceased. As Brett advised, it would be a good idea to have that record changed from deceased to living to protect her privacy. Here is a link to an article giving instructions for doing that.

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-change-the-status-from-deceased-to-living-in-family-tree

    Since you are not the contributor of this record, here are the instructions (using FamilySearch.org)

    1. Navigate to the person page of the individual who is living.
    2. Click Details
    3. In the Vitals section, next to the listed death date, select Edit.
    4. In the box that appears, click the circle labeled Living
    5. Enter how you know the person is still alive.
    6. Click Save
    7. Enter an explanation for the system administrator to review your request. Please provide this information:
      • Your relationship to the individual needing attention
      • How you know that the person is alive
      • If possible, the living person's current physical address
    8. Click Submit.

    A request now goes to FamilySearch Support. A system administrator reviews your request and takes appropriate actions. 

    We hope this helps.
