She sounds like quite a character! That's a cliche, I know, but it truly seems apt in this case. There used to be a poster, I wish I could remember who, who had a great sig file that your Mum stories bring to mind. It said something along the lines of she didn't want to die all pretty and peaceful. She wanted to go face flushed, clothes disheveled, and hair wild--saying "Wow! What a ride!" When Dorothy Parker heard that Calvin Coolidge was dead, she famously asked, "How can they tell?" Doesn't sound like that will be a problem with your Mum!
