You don't need to edit it, IMO. It's a good theory... I just disagree with it. So while I admit is is plausible that Ruby's mother was on the same team with Ozpin and Glynda (and maybe Crimson?), I don't think she was Summer Rose. The way I see it, Summer Rose is White Cloak. Evidence:


 * Summer Rose is the name on the Cliffside Altar, also White Cloak's location.


 * The grave looks old, too old to have been from a generation back (assuming earth-normal lifespans in the RWBYverse). And I feel like Ozpin and Glynda would have tended it had it been recent, and it doesn't look that way.


 * A concept art pic in the "Beacon Academy" image gallery showed a statue of someone holding a scythe. My guess that someone is Summer Rose. And although we haven't seen the statue in detail yet, my guess is that Ruby's mom would have died too recently for that statue to be made for her.
