This sort of thing is why financial folks recommend doing anything related to money in writing, even if you are dealing with family members.
Did you pay your mother in cash or by check? If you wrote checks, you have proof how much you gave her. If it was cash, learn from it and ask for receipts in the future.
Your mother sounds like she is very irresponsible about money. It doesn't matter what kind of education she has or how smart she is, some well educated, intelligent people are reckless with money. Your mother sounds like she is one of those people. I doubt she forgot how much money you gave her. She probably spent it.
It seems like you have a couple of options at this point 1) tell her you've paid her all you are going to and accept the emotional consequences 2) pay her what she claims you still owe her AND GET RECEIPTS. Then, never, ever borrow money from or with her again.
