A difficult structure.

The reaction of people looking at her is shocking because they say she is pretty when she was only ever considered ugly when alive.

(the context is, she who was thought ugly was dead and people say that she[who is at her coffin] is pretty who is put makeup on her face)

Q) It's difficult to understand that structure... it almost makes me misinterpret the part.

Is it natural to say?

Is there easier way to say it?
