You can proceed and elect the existing slate. You can take nominations from the floor for the vacant position. If no one steps forward, you can hold a special election at a later date. It's not that unusual to recruit a new officer at the beginning of the summer, have her help plan, etc., then officially elect her at the first meeting of the new year.
