As others have said, ask the author if you can. If you can’t, my advice would be: lived name out of respect, but add [published as deadname] so readers can find the item.

In the less sensitive matter of an author who changed their surname on marriage, I have cited “Jennifer Bernard (now Merkowitz)”, referring thereafter to “Bernard” since that’s how the article was published.
