Literally nothing is said about her so I just have to rely on headcanon compiled with the fact that it's said that something very tragic happened to her partner and that's how she died. I kind of wonder if what happened wasn't that she found out about the fact that her daughters would either have to locked away in a monastery forever or would become literal killing machine monsters and chose to take her own life. It could fit given how intensely reluctant Samara is to even consider a relationship, how much she talks about losing everything when they got the news, and that her partner was obviously there before and then not there after. So, that's sort of what I tend to lean towards. On another level it'd make sense in the way that every Asari blames purebloods for the condition (because it is them =( ) and Samara clearly believes it's her fault and her punishment. So, it wouldn't be hard to imagine her partner succumbing to that despair, after all Samara almost does in 3.

I get the impression Samara's partner had already left the maiden phase of life when they met because Samara frames the explanation in a way that sort of leads one to believe that her partner had a lot to do with her settling down. So, she was probably a lot less intense and wild of a person that Samara. I also don't necessarily see her as being a warrior in the way Samara was. She probably knew how to fight but might have been more of an intellectual than a warrior. She was probably a force that sort of helped Samara find directions and helped her to move into the settling down phase of life.

Samara seemed to love her daughters so much that she'd be one of those parents that would literally just ramble about the little things they did when asked of fondest memories. Every milestone was something she made a huge deal out of and took pictures of and vids of. Every gift they got her, including the little travel mug they made, was a fond memory she made a huge deal about because they did it. I get the impression she must have been a pretty good mom by how fondly she talks about them, how attached they seem to her even in the monastery, how much even Morinth still seems to have some parts of her that still care about Samara. Then she took a 180 and became a terrible parent but she still thinks all the little and big achievements are just fondest memories ever. She would be the parent with a picture book of them all look at my kids.
