I understand a divorced person cannot be ordained Deacon or Priest.

What if the spouse is deceased? Does it matter if they were divorced prior to the death?

Did they not remarry? Important question.

Be careful with making black and white statements. There is always room for economia, which allows the bishops to make exceptions under special circumstances.
