If she likes those, you could try something like Zuma - it's similar to those games but a little more fast paced, in that you shoot colored balls towards others.

You mentioned Match-3 but I'm guessing HuniePop is not her speed?
Zuma is a personal favorite, as someone suggested. Aim and click, and lots of cool maps - the sound is well done as well.
That one crossed my mind - I think most of the gameplay would be fine, but the hint book (with its index) would be hard to navigate short of scrolling through all the pages.

Since many, many years I'm coming back to this wonderful Patience / Mahjong / Solitaire collection:

Shout out to your mother for gaming at her age, and to you for your support and thoughtfulness.
As far as suggestions go regarding "text-less" adventures, take a look at Gomo and Journey of a Roach. However, be advised that regarding the latter, there have been a number of reports about motion sickness.
And I see that you've mentioned the Roads to Rome games, so I assume that she's quite good at planning and coordinating. You could take a look at the Royal Envoy and Northern Tale series in the same genre; they come with a relaxed mode (i.e. stress-free), and reading requirements are minimal (or can be skipped altogether).
Also regarding more casual games, perhaps something from the Virtual Villagers series or The Island: Castaway?
Wishing you and your mother a joyful holiday.

Proteus
Race the Sun
Audiosurf
maybe some farming simulators, Euro Truck Simulator 2.

What about World of Goo? Also, seconding Virtual Villagers, it's simple enough and addictive. I loved Whispering Willows, which is like a creature collecting game, but I think there was reading involved when you get quests... Dropsy has no words but she might not like it. Maybe Minecraft? Might be too complicated for her. Or something that's fully voiced if audio isn't a problem?
How about the Lego games? Star Wars or Harry Potter, or any of the earlier ones really.
Slingo? Jewel Quest? Jewel Quest Solitaire?

There are a surprising number of wordless adventure games as well. Pretty much everything from Amanita Design (Samorost series, Machinarium, Botanicula) requires no reading ability since everything's conveyed in pictures.

If her reaction time isn't too bad, perhaps The Marvellous Miss Take.
It's not hectic, quite casual mostly, but occasionally you do need to think fast.
If a small amount of reading is OK, how about the LEGO games?
Also, Hitman GO in the Microsoft Store.
