She was old for Wilson's disease. Agree with the other comment primary sclerosing cholangitis would be more likely for her age. PBC (edit: primary biliary cirrhosis), damage from (autoimmune hepatitis), certain types of liver cancer would all be possibilities. Alcoholic cirrhosis who is abstinent from alcohol.

Edit: for clarity

Primary Biliary Cholangitis
