It's not a simple yes/no because you're comparing apples and oranges.

Organ transplants necessitate vaccinations in order to increase the likelihood that the organ won't be wasted. Organ transplant recipients take immunosuppressants in order to not reject the organ.

Given how rare, valuable and needed organs are, someone who is unwilling to get vaccinated is not an ideal candidate for an organ.

This point holds no water as she isn't taking the organ away from someone else who's waiting. She would be taking it from her friend who wants to offer it to her. Therefore not taking it from anyone else.

That's not "being a monster." That's how limited resources work.

Wanting someone you disagree with to die is being a monster.

If you have one kidney and two people who need it, one of which is going to do all the necessary things to prevent an infection / protect the kindey
during a pandemic, and one who isn't willing to do those things... the decision should be made with this in mind.

But if you have one person who is only willing to give it to one other person, and not anyone else, than it's a moot point. Again, she's not robbing it from someone else in this scenario.

You still haven't answered the question.

Does someone deserve to die of causes unrelated to Covid because they refused the shot?

All of this jumping through hoops to justify it tells me your answer is yes.
