I have furthered my theory by using various analysis of Cortana's lines. I am now about 99% sure that Cortana will die in Halo 3. Here is my analysis:

Cortana has fought, and is fighting, very powerful foes in the Covenant. She is baffling the Prophets and...
"I am your shield, I am your sword"
Cortana is an essential part of MC's success, she has helped him fight in both earlier Halo games via tactics, map plans, etc etc.
"I know you, your past, your future"
Cortana is processing far beyond normal AI capacity. She is knowing events from the past, before she was created, and predicting future events with her probability simulations. (Standard AI use)
"This is the way the world ends"
Because Cortana is doing this much thinking, she is dying. Cortana's world will end because she is doing all of this work, since AI die when they think too much, such as predicting the future while analyzing the past and fighting/defending against Gods and Demons...
