Death record for my great-grandmother

[smithpa1]

I need help trying to find out the death date of my g-grandmother, Mattea Tortorice Allotta. Last name could be spelled, Alto, Allatto, etc. Born in Bellemonte Mezzagno, Palermo, Sicily 4/7/1876. She lived and died in Louisiana in the 1940's. Can anyone help me, I am trying to get a grave marker for her and my g-grandfather, Rosario.
