Clematis

My mom has (had) a beautiful clematis that she's had for a few years now. It flowered abundantly last summer and this summer it died. It's completely brown and didn't come back.
Does anyone have any idea what happened to it?

thanks.

try snapping off a piece just above the ground and if it is green inside, if it is still alive. I know they like very cool roots so need mulch to keep roots cool and wet. But flower better in lots of sun. If it is green I would cut it back to about 1 ft. tall and mulch roots and water and see what happens,
