Cleo and Nefera's mother is named Dedyet de Nile. Presumed dead throughout the family's entombment, she was actually quite alive and not... dead yet. (Feel free to unfollow for that one.)

Hundreds of years after the de Nile escape, she reunited with her family. She's often described as looking like an older version of Cleo entirely, though we never actually see her.

Dedyet

Reading the Mummy Makeover spoilers has developed some theories about Mrs.D .

Medusa: Hello, Mama DeNile, let me fill you in on what your family has been up to since you’ve left: igniting civil wars with humans, faking kidnappings, public disgrace over temper-tantrums, manipulating the dear Cleo into marrying a degenerate rapper and sending servants with knives after my boy.

Dedyet: Wow. Ramses DeNile *laughs* hasn’t changed a bit.

Medusa: You’re not distraught?

Dedyet: I know who I married. If you think all that is bad you don’t want to know what he did to the couple who had a bigger room than us on our first anniversary. 

Medusa: You are a freak. How in the hell would any sane woman marry that sandy windbag? You’re not even wearing any jewelry so there has to be a gold yacht somewhere.

Dedyet: This was million years ago but I remember well. We were at a gala, I was bored to tears, I told a naughty joke under my breath. My family glared at me but i heard a smokey laugh behind me. A day later my father said I was engaged to the soon-to-be-Pharaoh. I was sick of living with my parents so it made sense.

Medusa’s thoughts, so that’s how Cleo is going to move into my house.

Dedyet: We weren’t in love until after I produced his heir. Looking into Nefera’s violet eyes melted that stone heart like ice into sugar water. He loved his daughter like she rose the sun. At the time he dotted on baby Nefera i thought they were precious, now I have to undo the damage. *laugh* Little Nefera told her Daddy when she was 2 that she’d never want to marry because she didn’t want to share a single thing. from that second Ramses started a campaign to let his princess become the first single queen. The council was against it, I was impressed by his fortitude. And then we had Cleo.

Medusa: Mama DeNile, I want to know for true. Was our gorgeous Cleo born with a penis?

Dedyet: Yes.

Medusa: Huh. Don’t look at me like that, it could never change the way my boy looks at her. He’s the one that told me.

Dedyet: Does it change the way you look at her?

Medusa: It does not, except i have a slight hope for biological grandchildren.

Dedyet: We all realized when she five years old that her place was to a princess. We found a good transmuter to make her insides and outsides correctly matched.It wasn’t common to announce second borns until they were politely trained and no one questioned how right she looked.

Medusa: That’s lovely, but I can not believe Ramses would be cool about trans daughter.

Dedyet: One day he saw her try on one of my scarves, he told me he’d rather two beautiful princesses rather than one.

Medusa: Aww, Also he didn’t want a son to compete with Nefera’s destiny to the throne.

Dedyet shrugged: Mercy from the gods has kept my family healthy, youthful and gorgeous. Cleo’s ability to have children is sadly doubtful but in this wide, wide world I cannot not believe in miracles.

Medusa: Or experiments. Mad science has done wonders in the recent years, maybe the grandbabies won’t be conventionally built but as long as they that pretty brown skin, my eyes and the DeNile nerve, it’s a perfect set of eight.

Dedyet: Whoa there, scaly, that’s a tall order and raising a family might not be on Cleo’s agenda so soon.

Medusa: Not at all, Deuce is definitely not ready for that responsibility. Let them bang out a beautiful bastard, or nine, for me to raise while they go to college and turn into grownups.

Dedyet: Maddy, I’m getting to know my daughter as a young woman, I need to fix my other daughter and ease Ramses’ ulcer. A baby is not in my hieroglyphics. 

Medusa: Alright, you met Ms. Lunette Wolf and her pack of five new-born grandpuppies and then tell me you there’s no desire to smell that fresh out of the womb smell, that butter soft hair made of snakes with itty bitty tongues wiggling at you, chubby cheeks laughing a very first laugh...

Dedyet: Woman, why don’t you adopt?

Medusa: I have a record, Deuce was my miracle at ....a late age. He’s now a teenager, I’m over him.

Dedyet: Cleo is my heart, I’m far from letting her go.
