I am assuming that you mean way down.. in her stomach and not half way up.. that is half way up from her stomach to her neck area as that could be something else.
Yes, it could be stomach ulcers. The major symptom of an ulcer is a burning or gnawing feeling in the stomach area that lasts between 30 minutes and 3 hours. This pain is often interpreted as heartburn, indigestion or hunger. The pain usually occurs in the upper abdomen, but sometimes it may occur below the breastbone. In some individuals the pain occurs immediately after eating. In other individuals, the pain may not occur until hours after eating. The pain frequently awakens the person at night. Weeks of pain may be folowed by weeks of not having pain. Pain can be relieved by drinking milk, eating, resting, or taking antacids

It could be ulcers, but it could also be many other things. The best bet for your mom is to see the doctor. He/she can help you rule out serious issues and discover the best treatment options for whatever is causing the pain.

Could be ulcers, could be acid reflux, my mother inlaw puts 1 tsp of vinegar in water and drinks it to get rid of gas. Works

Possibly but she could also have acid reflux or indigestion. I would consult a physician immediatly b/c it can damage not only the lining of her stomach but also her esophagus.
