I think it's ok to celebrate the death of a despot, tyrant, or otherwise exceedingly evil person, along the lines of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Ted Bundy, Bin Laden, et al. I didn't like MT's politics any more than Reagan or George W, but she does not come anywhere close to being comparable to those examples IMO.
