She said daddy?
I'm very confused and off for the evening.
I'm sticking with "tell her yourself".
You can't call to tell someone twice if they didn't get the message the first time.
P-
and yes she said daddy.

me: sure
other person: this is (someone) can you tell her that daddy died?
me: who was that again?
...[text shortened]... one of these little things that 'you're supposed to do' that i don't get again?
I suspect she had a few people to ring and was postponing her greif till she'd done her calls. Would have been easier for her to write to your friend. Or maybe your friend was waiting on news, but then she'd have said to you that there might be a phone call.
No matter how prepared one is about their parents death it's still a shock of sorts when they die, so it's possiable she was in shock still too.
