Odysseus sees her in the underworld. He was unaware that his mother had died.
Yes. Odysseus is surprised to see her, as she was alive when he left.

Odysseus sees a bunch of random souls as soon as he prepares the offering( to get Tiresias to come up in the underworld to visit him and tell him his future) Odysseus sees his mom, Anticeleia, he sees as well Achilles, Ajax, Agamemnon, and of course Tiresias.
Odysseus would not see the souls of the living when he visited the Underworld, as only the spirits of the dead are present there. He also would not encounter heroes who had not died in a significant or heroic manner, as their spirits would not reside in the Underworld. Additionally, he would not see anyone who had not yet passed away by the time of his journey, such as those who would die after his visit.
Odysseus ventures into the underworld on the orders of Circe. She tells him to find the ghost of Tiresias, a seer, and ask him how to return to Ithaca.
In the underworld, Odysseus speaks primarily with the souls of various heroes and figures from Greek mythology, including his mother Anticlea, Achilles, Agamemnon, and Tiresias the blind prophet. Additionally, he encounters other souls such as Elpenor and his fallen comrades from the Trojan War.
Odysseus is shocked and saddened to see his mother, Anticlea, in the Underworld because he thought she was still alive when he left for the Trojan War. Seeing her in the realm of the dead brings him great sorrow and adds to his already difficult journey back home.
He first sees his fellow crew mate, Elpnor who died earlier on Circe's island. Next he sees his mother, Anticlea.
Teiresias is a blind prophet who Odysseus seeks for help in the underworld in "The Odyssey" by Homer. Because Teiresias is blind, he has 'inner sight', and can see things others cannot, such as the future.
