Investigators had said Zays "veered off course" before hitting the barn in Orange on Saturday.
She was taken to Athol Hospital before being transferred to UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester where she died Monday.
Jumptown Skydiving, which is based in Orange, had no comment.
The death remains under investigation.
