My honest opinion? If Summer were still alive in some capacity, then its because she's either trapped, held hostage, or she was fighting against a foe so powerful that she had to use her silver eyed powers to seal them (and herself) in the same kind of temperal prison the Grimm Dragon and Cinder are trapped in atop Beacon Tower.

At any rate, even if she were alive, there'd have to an extremely powerful external force keeping her from coming home. Unlike Raven who appears to be an unorthedox person, Summer wouldn't have willfully abandoned Yang, Tai or Ruby.
