My mother recently passed away cancer-Are we responsible to pay all her medical bills she incurred while she was sick? Do we have to use her life insurance money for those bills??

Yes, and no.
Her estate must pay bills, if there are assets.
Life insurance belongs, in most cases to the beneficiary, not the insured.
