Her mom dying is pretty lame. Neither side kept in touch with one another? That's all it woulda taken for her mom to still be alive. She was already making potions in the village! That bit of knowledge just escaped from everyone, so no one asked her for help? If I was from that village, she woulda been the first person I contacted. Messages sent through the guild she's attached to woulda reached her in no time! So, yeah, that's why I can't see this as anything other than a super lame subplot.
It's been at least a year since she left in volume 1, the village thought that she was going to live in the Marquis' city as an apothecary, they didn't even know that she was sent to the Royal Capital to work directly for the royal academy.
Even if they did send a message to her as soon as the mom got sick the travel time alone would have made it reach her too late. Traveling from the Village to Marquis City took weeks by itself in a horse carriage.
