It was specifically her mother that was killed in front of her. I'd assume, since we aren't given much info on her mother, that her mother was a wench/prostitute and her mother was killed by gangplanks father. With no parents to care for her she was probably raised among the company her mother worked with, presumably more wenches/prostitutes, but with a taste for revenge on the person that killed her mother or a justice seeking type of persona making her become a bounty hunter later in life.
