In many cultures body and spirit are two different things. A corpse may be in a coffin in a graveyard but its spirit may roam restlessly through a house. So I don't see anything odd about her being a spirit in Oblivion and a corpse in Skyrim.

That said, the Night Mother has changed slightly from game to game. In Morrowind she was rumored to be a living Imperial woman.
