Well if you think about the original source material for the walking dead which is the comics and even consider the tv series Rick did the same thing. It was a long shot, for him leaving Kentucy on horseback to search Atlanta city for his wife and son. It was his hope that drove him and he found Glenn who happended to have banded with a group of survivors including Rick's wife and son who were the last to make it to Atlanta which was believed at the time to be a safe zone and later Rick went back to where his journey began and found his friend Morgan where he had left him still alive after many months. In Lee's story it has only been around 3 months since the apocalypse (which is the time it takes for Glen to meet Rick in the comics)so it is just as feasible that Clementine's mother is alive as it was that Rick's wife and son were alive in the outskirts of Atlanta and his friend Morgan who would have been towns away from the city where Ricks journey began.
I think with those considerations, Lee's chances of finding Clementines mother alive are 50/50 it will come down to Telltale's writers at the end of the day as to what ending they want for Clementine, bearing in mind she is a much loved character I wouldn't be surprised if Telltale were to cut her a break and reunite her with her mother in the way Kirkman reunited Rick with his wife and son. In the comics it isn't always doom and gloom other wise no one would read them. Every now and then Rick's group get a break and find temporary places of refuge and weeks of peace and celebration.
