Enrolling widows different than enrolling single women and married women?

Would the church pay a woman to do the work in Pigeon Forge that Irma is doing in Honderas? Have we put her into a situation where when she marries she will be abandoing her faith? Otherwise what is Paul telling Timothy?
 
1 Tim. 5:9-12   
    Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years of age, having been the wife of one husband, [10] and having a reputation for good works: if she has brought up children, has shown hospitality, has washed the feet of the saints, has cared for the afflicted, and has devoted herself to every good work.  [11] But refuse to enroll younger widows, for when their passions draw them away from Christ, they desire to marry  [12] and so incur condemnation for having abandoned their former faith.
