Didn't Isayama said that Ymir was going to be a key character of the plot later ? Also, it's one of his five favorite character, and she had her titan a little after Reiner. She said she was going to marry Historia, and that she will die soon, so I can see only one way to interprate it. She was talking about the years that were left after the time she was going to die. If it was for an other reason, then the part about her marrying Historia wouldn't make any sense ... She is obviously alive.

People should forget about those claws and other shits like this, the Beast Titan also had a design modification so, everything can happen. I don't think such a character could die offscreen, and I don't know how this theory became so popular that she could be considered as true without any questions by someone.
