I know that. That's why I still give it a chance for now. I even came up with possible explanations that also work as Fanfic Material of variable quality:

-She hasn't gotten over it, she's just mounting a extremely good facade.

-At first, she was shattered. Then, she went from sad, to angry, and decided to become a Huntress not for the fairy tales, but to "avenge" her mother by slicing Grimm after Grimm after Grimm.

-She forgot about it completely, but get her to remember even a bit of that day, and she will fall apart.

-At first she was in despair and sadness, but then Qrow "saved" her and fueled her desire to become a Huntress.

-Ruby didn't really care about her mother, probably even hated her, though she still cared a bit for her enough to feel sad for her death. But, not caring much about her, she moved on quickly.
