No, she is not a widow. Mr. Phillips is Mr. Bennet's clerk. You can go here:

Mrs. Phillips was one of the Miss Gardiners (one of Mrs. Bennet's two sisters)then she married Mr. Phillips. There is no noting of her husband being dead in the book, so I am assuming he is never really mentioned, or only mentioned once or twice.
