As stated, I also believe that your your statement stands.

I did find where some guy owned a private submarine and he killed a woman (Kim Wall) on-board.

I also am aware of women being rescued/transported by Boats during the war - don't recall any deaths.

I don't know of such an instance.  What submarine?

Then comes the question: Does a rescuee count as formal crew? 

As far as I have been able to determine my statement above still stands, "first instance of a female crewmember dying on board a submarine".

Was a rescued female civilian lost in WW2?

I believe this is the first instance of a female crewmember dying on board a submarine in the history of submarines as warships.  

Sad indeed-may their souls know peace.  43 men, one woman.
