According to Acts, after the Ascension, of about 120 people gathered in the Upper Room on the occasion of the election of Matthias to the vacancy of Judas, Mary is the only person mentioned by name other than the twelve Apostles and the candidates (Acts 1:12-26, especially v. 14; and though it is said that "the women" and Jesus' "brothers" were there as well, their names are not given). From this time, she disappears from the Biblical accounts, although it is held by some Christian groups that she is again portrayed as the heavenly Woman of Revelation (Revelation 12:1).
Her death is not recorded in Scripture.
According to Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox tradition, between three and fifteen years after Christ's Ascension, in either Jerusalem or Ephesus, Mary died; while surrounded by the apostles. Later, when the apostles opened her tomb, they found it empty, and concluded that she had been bodily assumed into Heaven. ("Mary's Tomb" - a tomb in Jerusalem is attributed to Mary, but it was unknown until the 6th century

As a former Catholic I can tell you that the Catholic church, at some point in their liturgical year, celebrates the day of ascension when Mary ascended into Heaven. I do not know if this appears in the Bible or is simply folklore. A previous answerer to your question said that James took care of her, and that would make sense since all evidence within the Bible points to James being Jesus' brother, and of course, the son of Mary. I don't think Mary was a virgin after Jesus. It is likely that she had children with Joseph after Jesus was born. This possibility should not shatter anyone's faith.

According to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, she was carried into heaven by the angels when she died. That is she did not experience death in the same way that us mortals do. However, little, if nothing is written about her life either in the gospels or the epistles after the death of Jesus. There is one reference to her in one of the gospels being present in the room with the apostles when the Holy Spirit descended upon them and they began to speak in tongues. I wish I had a good imagination and could make some stuff up, but that's about as much as I know.

There is not much written about the women around Christ...and his mother was no exception. We will proably never know what happened to either of the Marys...Mother or Magdalena...at least not conclusively.

She got a job at the drive thru of Taco Bell and got fired when she spilled mild sauce on a customer. The customer wiped the sauce off with a towel he had in his car. That towel is now known as the famous SHROUD OF TURIN.

James took care of her and she lived out her life as a teacher of the Word.

Given the fact that the scriptures don't mention any further role for her, I assume she returned home to take care of the rest of children.

I believe she had to flee. She was considered an rebel too. Anyone remotely connected to Jesus had to be very careful. Good question.
