Well it would be more insulting if you said 'Mrs.' and she wasn't married! So, to be safe, say 'Ms.'

Or you could perhaps says 'Ms/Mrs'

Or just her name...

Answer 18

Use Ms. That is appropriate for married or single women.

Answer 19

Just her name will do - no need for a title. I'm married and it annoys the h**l out of me when asked for my title. I'm like 'what does it matter'.
