Elaboration: With that said, "She is gone" is correct in English Speaking Countries.
But usually, whether it's of logical, grammatical reasons or of consensus,
we don't use "she is gone away"

But mostly used during formal conversations, as it implies an abrupt disappearance
(from a point of view)

The sentence ------ "she is gone away" is in passive voice.
But, in fact, we do not write in this way because " go"
is always in active voice.

If it carries another meaning,then you should write like
" has/had gone away".

she is gone away 完全唔啱grammer, 你係咪打錯咗?
