If your name is on the credit card as the primary card holder or as an authorized user, you are responsible for the bill. If the card was in your husband's name only and you were beneficiary to his assets, you are responsible for paying his debts first. As his spouse you share in the debts accrued while you were married. Those debts don't go away when he does, regardless of where you live. You were not divorced (I assume because you call yourself "widow") when the cards were used. If that were the case, you would have legal ground to refuse to pay them. I don't see that you have any grounds in this case.
