I guess others may respond differently...but I might have followed up a w/text or whatever...and let her know you thought she knew... you were off and that you appreciate being thought of by her children. Take the high road. You do not need to be friends with this person, but you can be polite - whether you feel she deserves it or not.
I have a couple co-workers that I do not get along with...but I do take time to notice and thank them if they did something nice or helpful. Do they deserve it - not for me to decide - you can only try to manage your reaction to others - you cannot change them.

“Psychotherapy works by going deep into the brain and its neurons and changing their structure by turning on the right genes.
