With no way of contacting her father and Crow incapable of taking custody, he gave her to family friends, the Xiao-Longs, who's mother was friends with her mother (sort of like Ruby and Yang's relationship, the only dividend being blood ties), and with their 2-year old daughter. That's sort of what I had in mind, but I think the timeline is stretched out a lot longer than that. I can't really shake the feeling that Jaune's great-great grandfather knew Summer Rose, so that would mean Summer died about 250 years ago. Of course, that's assuming normal human lifespans apply. I'm sure that people live average lives (if not a little longer due to lack of significant health risks, probably max age would be 110, 120 if record breaking), and it would seem likely that Summer died when Ruby was a baby (since Yang remembers her from that time [of course it could have just been embarressing amounts of affection).
