I'd invite her to everything and rub her nose in it; get an older sibling to have the Christmas and invite you and "let" your mother come, etc. No way she can be queen bee at your or someone else's affairs. Be "kind" to her in a "has-been" sense. Treating her with pity would knock her off her high horse.
