Might be a bit late to answer this, but...

Some people think that it could go both ways, but I disagree. There is heavy implication that she is alive, but it is a bit less clear in the anime than in the manga. For one, Murata himself drew a picture of her with prosthetics working for Dr. Genus making takoyaki. I'm sure it was partly because she was such a popular villain, but he never actually said it was a "what if" scenario like some assumed. Also, Saitama slapped her (not punched) and other monsters and characters have survived his blows before anyway, not including the strongest. Even in the anime, you can look closely and see that her main body is blown off into the distance; In the manga and original web comic, she is only launched through the building. Dr. Genus probably assumed she was dead at the time because her tracker was destroyed, most likely along with the blood sack.

What I think happened was that she managed to survive (which is not difficult to imagine for one as tough as her, and Saitama sucked at killing mosquitos anyway), was shaken by the brief encounter with Saitama's strength, and eventually returned to the only place she could to turn a new leaf with Dr. Genus.

[Possible spoilers ahead]

It would have been great for them to actually include her towards the end of S1, in the shot where they show Dr. Genus and Armored Gorilla making takoyaki.
