Well, who says she did. I mean sure, at the end of AoU she seems to have just joined the Avengers, and no one really mentions it again. But that doesn't mean that it's suddenly become irrelevant.

Also, there's one aspect about grieving that people often seem to overlook. Because, even though when someone is lost, their loved ones are undergoing a very difficult emotional process, that doesn't mean those people can't still function in everyday life. Just because they've suffered a tragedy, that (usually) doesn't turn them into inconsolable cry machines.

And besides, since Pietro's death occured at the end of the film, they obviously wasn't much runtime left to commemorate him. Yet i think it's a pretty safe bet that his death will come into play in (at least) Civil War, as they continue to develop Scarlet Witch's character.
