You are confused or have been misinformed. A Power of Attorney is only used for a living person. Once a person has died, any Power of Attorney terminates upon death. At this point, if there is an estate, you need to be named Personal Representative of the estate. That requires probate proceedings. It is a highly technical process and should not be attempted without the assistance of an attorney.

If one heir out of 6 refuses to sign for a house to be sold, is there a way the others can sell it without that signature?

No. You will need to petition to the probate court for an order the court will sign for her; however, in the petition you will want to request the court to assess fees and costs against her for an unreasonable refusal to agree to the sale and to charge her share of the sale proceeds for the fees and costs. The title company will want either her signature or a court order clearing your right to sell the property. Lastly, you could as a group , propose to purchase her share, but may have to pay a premium.
