My mother's is written the same way. If I died before she does my share would go to my remaining (living) siblings. My wife would get nothing. The only way to change that would be for my mothers trust / will to be modified to include "significant others". Martial status on my end, or my siblings, some of which are single but in long term relationships is irrelevant. That said, if your (or my) mothers will / trust is modified to include spouses or "others" it would depend on how your (or my) will / trust is written; i.e. to include or exclude spouse (in the form of a prenup if you're in a community property state) or in your case G.F.
My mother is 94, so, like you it's not far off. This form of will seems to be common in that generation. There's an odd sort of rivalry that breeds out of it between siblings. It also, IMHO, creates a weird macabre dynamic with everyone "waiting for her/him to die"... My stepfather was really secretive about it. Even my mother didn't know the size of his estate until he died.
Hope this helps.
