The index is merely a finding aid, so the fact that it has the roles backwards is annoying but largely immaterial. The records are correctly attached to her parents, not his, and the death data is entered on her profile, not his, so really the only thing that needs fixing is the source tagging. I suggest removing all but the "name" tag on his source citation, and adding "birth", "death", and "burial" tags on hers. The other thing you can do is to edit each citation and add a Note/Description about the error in the index.
