But why would your wife say “it’s very disrespectful to refer to them that way”? That doesn’t make sense either

It already doesn’t make grammatical sense because your wife hasn’t died, so you can’t refer to it happening in the past tense - you’d have to say “before my wife dies” which ruins the joke.
