As someone who has a begrudging fondness for “mother” jokes, I’ll submit that they have nothing to do with someone’s mother, at all, really. Insulting someone’s mother is really just an attempt to attack (humorously) the sweetest and most vulnerable part of a person.
But, regarding your situation specially, condolences. Obviously.
Don’t feel bad, you and the originator had no way of knowing.
It could also be noted her funeral was well attended, and there was no admission. So I guess she can drive traffic, and cheaply. Albeit, the traffic was of the live (well, at least for the rest of us) rather than virtual nature.

I also go around the internet and find articles that insult me personally.
