So the internal temptors were not present in Mary's flesh or soul nor Jesus' flesh or soul prior to their conception. They could not sin, they could not make the choice of good or evil. It was not part of their DNA. This allowed them to bypass dying before ascension. The host, Jesus, brought to earth by the ark of the new covenant, Mary and the Church and Spirit, allows mankind to achieve eternal life of the flesh and soul in heaven.
Peace always,

It is most commonly accepted that Mary, wanting to follow in the steps of Her son Jesus, did die and was immediately assumed.
The Church has never said definitively, but the major of theologians believe this to be the case.
