But when Thor is nearly killed by the villainous Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), Jane transforms into Thor to save her true love. The decision eventually kills Jane, though we see in a end-credits scene that she does get a hero's afterlife in Valhalla.
In the comics, Jane Foster also goes to Valhalla when she dies as Mighty Thor. She's granted entry by Odin as a reward for saving all of Asgard, and similar to the events in Thor: Love and Thunder, it's an instance of these rules of entry for Valhalla being broken.
Although she was a mortal, Jane Foster was able to gain entry into Valhalla after succumbing to her cancer, as she had died in battle against Gorr the God Butcher.
In 2019's The War of the Realms Marvel Comics storyline, Jane Foster takes up the mantle of Valkyrie after the legendary Asgardian heroes are killed by Malekith and his forces.
True, Jane didn't die in a battle, but she died because of her participation in that battle. But it isn't just because she fought, it was because Thor's enchantment to Mjolnir to always protect her had resulted in Mjolnir turning Jane into the Mighty Thor.

Why was Jane Foster killed off?
Jane Foster's death in Thor: Love and Thunder isn't the result of a bullet, or a cosmic blast of magic, it is because of a devastatingly real issue: her genetics. Her mother died young, and Jane probably grew up with the fear at the back of her mind that her fate might follow her mother's.

Across multiple comic continuities, Thor has had several daughters including Brigid Thorsdottir, Thena Thorsdóttir and Torunn Thorsdóttir, the latter recurring in many iterations. In Norse Mythology, Thor had a daughter named Thrud with Sif.
Though Jane Foster is dead, it's possible that she has a cameo in Thor 5. Valhalla was shown at the end of Thor: Love and Thunder (with Heimdall welcoming Jane), so if Thor dies, he may see her and other slain Asgardians.
In the comics, Jane also becomes a Valkyrie after losing Mjolnir, and as they are the ones who aid lost souls in finding Valhalla, it is viable that the MCU could allow Jane to return as a Valkyrie who can come and go from Valhalla as she pleases.

Marvel Studios has yet to confirm whether Jane Foster will return to the MCU after Thor: Love and Thunder.
