I assume for several reasons that after the communion in Tahoe, she was sent out of the picture 1) When she was drunk and said "Never marry a whop...." and "You couldn't hit your momma!" The look on Mike's face was one of both embarrasment and disgust at the same time. 2) When mamma Corleone died, I don't recall seeing her at the wake. Also we can assume that Fredo had problems with her as in a deleted scene when they are arriving at the communion she belittles Fredo and at the same time disses Mike. I think that FFC shot these two scenes with the intention of showing the veiwer that Fredo was having his problems with his wife.
