The postal service is by law not supposed to deliver mail to an
addressee at a particular address if the addressee is no longer at that
address (unless, of course, the mail says "or current resident" on it).
You should ask your letter carrier to stop delivering mail addressed to
the mother of the wife of the previous owner.  If s/eh keeps delivering
it, you should ask your local postmaster to see to it that it stops.

Note that your letter carrier and/or postmaster is allowed, in
response, to demand that you put the last name(s) of current residents
on your mailbox and only deliver mail addressed to those names.
