This stepmother isn't just jealous, she's absolutely cruel. It's one thing to try to force her husband to give up his sentiments of his late wife, but she can't force the daughter to. She should be celebrating this woman, celebrating the love she gave to her current husband and her new stepdaughter. You can't erase someone's past. You can make them stop talking to someone, or stop talking about someone, or to get rid of their things, but they will always have their memories.

“You’re just my dad’s insecure second wife”: Stepmother calls the cops on 17-year-old stepdaughter for "stealing" when she tries to stop her from throwing away late mother's memories, causing family dispute
Human beings are complex. We act one way, but mean another. We come off as X, but intended to act like Y. Most people are just people who don't mean ill-will or harm. Unless someone's pathological and has a mental disorder, people are just trying their best. Someone's best may not be what you think you deserve though. It's okay to omit people from your life if you feel like their behavior is toxic and unhealthy for you.
When someone feels jealousy, it's not always easy to be in control of how you treat others, what you say, or your behavior. It can be an absolutely dominating feeling, one that strangles you until your last breath. One that makes you act in ways you never thought you could act, and do treacherous things you never thought you could do.
In the story below, the jealous stepmother lets her emotions get the better of her. She wants to rid her stepdaughter's life of everything that can remind her of her mother. She lets the jealousy she has about her husband's passed wife get the better of her.
