No. The wife didn't earn the rank (unless she was in the Army and earned it).

It was a posthumous appointment made by President Ford so that Washington would rank first among all other officers, past and present.

This was a basic training question when I went through, along with "Who was the last one?". This is not counting the Honorary rank of "General of the Armies" granted to Pershing and Washington, however. Only active military rank.
