I'm just going to put this whole thing to bed with info taken from this very wiki. Summer Rose is confirmed as Ruby's deceased mother. Taiyang Xiao Long, Summer, Yang's mother, and Qrow were all on the same team. Yang's mother disappeared one day, and hasn't been heard from since (though new theories are stating that Raven Branwen is Yang's mother due to their similarities (possible relation to Qrow, making him Yang's actual uncle while he is Ruby's adopted uncle)). Both Summer and Yang's mother new each other due to being on the same team.

Yang's mother vanished before Ruby was born, and Summer comforted Taiyang through his distress, which eventually led to them getting married and having Ruby, making her (Ruby), Yang's half-sister through their father. Summer didn't use a scythe like some people on this page are saying. Qrow used the scythe, it's stated in the very first episode by Ozpin himself that Qrow used one, and Ruby said that Qrow taught her how to use one.

Going by the theory that Raven is Yang's mother, a possible name for their team could be TRQS (Turqoise (Taiyang -> Raven -> Qrow -> Summer)), named after the colour, similar to Team RWBY (Ruby obviously (Ruby -> Weiss -> Blake -> Yang). Of course, I could be pulling that last bit out my ass, but most of the rest is established fact. When Summer died, Yang took Ruby to try and find Yang's mother, eventually ending up at what is speculated as Yang's mother's old home, before being saved by Qrow from the Beowolves that infested the ruins. So that throws the theory that Yang is searching for Cinder (really...???) out the window before dropping a nuke on it to remove all evidence of it's existence.

... I think I finished this page up rather nicely.
