If you are claiming charitable donations for which you have documentation and a receipt, do not worry about the amount seeming to be too high. The possible issue will be that the donations alone will not be enough to exceed the standard deduction for your mother's return. You must also be entering other items that will add to the itemized deduction amount such as property taxes, mortgage interest, or medical expenses to name a few.
Take a look at the following TurboTax article for information about the standard deduction amounts for 2020 based on the filing status that will be used, plus your mother's age. If the standard deduction is higher than the total donations plus the other possible itemized deductions, then do not worry about entering all of the donations and just move forward with the standard deduction.
What's my standard deduction for 2020?
My condolences for your loss.
