I'm so sorry.

The best person to talk to is her doctor. They will be realistic with you about her quality of life. If the quality of life is thought to be good (or would be good after surgery), then sure, why not have it removed. Honestly, that does not sound like the case by your posts. She is near deaf, probably has dementia or incontinence or a serious bladder issue. She really just wants to sleep all day. And she gets scared so easily. Unless the vet felt that removing the cataract and restoring some vision would help with the other issues, then I would not do it.

Think of her 3 favorite things to do in life. Is she still able to do 2 of them?
Do you think she is happy to wake up in the morning and start her day?
Is she in any pain or discomfort?

These are things you can ask yourself before making any decisions.
