I didn't think of that! (grin)
But you would send it to the service center designated for the area in
which you live. You may need to check IRS web site for it. Down South
heah, we use the Atlanta address. Goto www.irs.gov and in search box
top right type in "1040 filing address".

Why doesn't she have it from the last time she did file?

If they ever filed jointly, a Form 4506 can be used to request a copy of
the original return from the IRS (the fee is refunded if the return
cannot be obtained). Only one spouse is needed to sign this form.
She might be eligible for higher Soc Security benefits based on her
husband's earnings record if she becomes an ex-spouse.
It may be better to resolve any outstanding issues now before it becomes
a matter of probate down the road.

Because not everybody, even including some of our own clients, don't
keep copies of past tax returns. Surprised?

No one has mentioned this, so I'll throw in 'married but unmarried for tax
purposes.' The requirements are: married, did not live with the spouse at
any time during the last six months of the year and did not file a joint
return with the spouse, paid more than half of the cost of maintaining the
home, and lived with at least one dependent child for more than half the
year. I gather from your post that your mom has no dependent children, so
she fails that final test and she's pretty much stuck with MFS. But as other
posters have said, not knowing Dad's SSN is not a big deal.
