Ok first of all I would like to thank the people on discord for helping me think long and hard about Ymir. I would like to make one thing clear: Ymir is NOT my favorite character it was Erwin(wasn't sad when died I felt indifferent to it. But I'm going to tell you guys how Ymir may be dead at this point or alive. I will divide this into two sections of evidence that support each theory. Before you tell me that Ymir is dead and that's final. Be quiet and just read it you don't have to come to the same conclusion as I have after going back into the series and reading.

For those who would say she is dead: There are many ways that explain that she is dead.

1: Gaillard had consumed her and had taken her memories. This is a way to gain a shifter's memories.

2: Gaillard's statement on what she wanted. Ymir may have felt guilt for eating Marcel and wanted Gaillard to eat her in order for him to find justice and closure.

3: The room she was in. The room we saw Ymir in was similar to the room where the Reiss family was when they transferred the Founding Titan's power. Gaillard may have injected himself with a serum and ate her or used a Titan form that he already had to eat her.

For those who say she is alive: There are also many things that explain that she may be alive.

1: There is a second way to obtain Shifter memories. All they have to do is touch each other. Remember when Eren kissed Historia's hand and when she and Rod Reiss touched him to see his memories.

2: She and Gaillard's Titan forms look different. They look nothing alike. You may say that Ymir has a powerful Jaw and you are correct but how powerful is it?

3: She may have been restrained in that room just to keep her from turning into her Titan form.

Conclusion: Based off of the Manga,Anime, and statements from Hajime Isayama himself. I am reversing my belief that she is alive and I have come to a new conclusion. I cannot make one. I cannot say for certain beyond any shadow of a doubt that ANYTHING happened to Ymir. For me I need more evidence for another conclusion. Isayama said in a interview that Ymir (Not Ymir Fritz) would be involved in the ending or as he called it the "Ultimate Conclusion" that statement could either go both ways. She may haunt Gaillard after death and cause his defeat in a way similar to Kimblee interfering with Pride in Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood or she may be alive. Bottom line here is I cannot say that Ymir is alive or dead. I ask that you not ridicule me or say anything bad. I will not be a stick in the mud and continue to argue for something which I have little facts on. Hajime has for the first time ever caused me to be stumped on a plot point. He got me and he's good at doing that. Ok well this is my opinion your free to express your own. May the Light guide you and lead you to a long life.
