Example: Jane Smith marries John Doe.

You can properly address Jane as:

Mrs. Doe
Mrs. John Doe
Ms. Jane [Smith] Doe

That's the technically correct usage even though few if any people know or observe that today.
My mother would <3 you.

I could seriously school people. There is like a 2-hour long course in the archives of Mama Breathesgelatin about how to properly address and send letters of various kinds. LOL
