Yeah. If she made it clear and it was known ahead of time, this is cut and dry malpractice. You cannot perform any medical procedure on someone that refuses it if they are in good mental capacity.

The gray area comes around if she was not in the mental state to give this info and the hospital had no records of it. The family can say that's what she'd want but unless one of them had been given power of attorney/medical power i dont think that the hospital would have been able to take their opinion into account
