A Forsyth County jury concluded that Nannie Ballard Kollar did not neglect her mother to the point that bed sores contributed to her death.
Kollar was charged with abuse of a disabled or elderly person causing serious injury and neglect of a disabled or elderly person causing serious injury.
Kernersville police arrested Kollar April 21, 2011, the day after her mother died.
Prosecutors contended that neglect led to the bed sores that contributed to the death of Mildred McGee Ballard.
But Kollar's attorney said she had spent more than 30 years caring for her mother and there was no sign of neglect.
