I wonder if she saw it coming and they made plans to retire her character this season. That would answer the question of who was going to die this year.

Not according to this.

This Variety article says that Krabapple isn't the one slated to die.

What is the policy of the producers regarding the loss of a cast member? Do they retire the character or hire another actor who can mimic the voice?

If I remember correctly, when the woman who voiced Lunchlady Doris died, she remained as an on-air character, but didn't speak.

Simpsons Wikia posted:

After Grau's death in 1995, Lunchlady Doris was retired out of respect for over 10 years. Due to the delay between recording some episodes and the time they actually air, Grau's voice was included in episodes airing as late as 1997 such as "Lisa's Sax". Lunchlady Doris then became a silent background character and was mostly been seen in crowds and groups of other faculty members.In the 18th season, she returned as a speaking character beginning with "The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer", where she is voiced by Tress MacNeille. She did have a brief speaking role in the season sixteen episode " the debarted"

When Phil Hartman died, Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz were retired.

When Maggie Roswell quit, they hired someone else to do her characters, except for Maude, who was killed off.

When Doris Grau died, they put Lunchlady Doris into semi-retirement in a non-speaking role, but later had Tress MacNeille do her lines.

Although, you know, though I started my quoting career... several years before Do over Ham, so I could never really have learned anything... directly from him, still... I think, in a way, in a very meaningful way, that I... all-all of us, have, have learned... from him. And that is by being a clown on television for, for... for so many years. Even though many of us, we didn't watch his show. Uh, t-thank you.
