She would still owe you money. That doesn't impact your Chapter 13, it only helps since your Chapter 13 is a reorganization of debt. You should speak with your bankruptcy attorney about how these payments should be placed on your Chapter 13 or used to work with the trustee to ensure you are paying off debt one by one.
