"Where in Scripture is it shown that Mary has a role beyond that of mother?"
Actually, at the wedding feast at Cana, as reported by John, Jesus first public miracle was done at the request of His Mother ."Do whatever He tells you " At her request, He turned water into wine .
OTOH, maybe, she does act in the role of mother (spititual),to us all when we ask her(pray) to intercede with Jesus for us .
For years I have heard about "Jewish mothers", in the sense that they exert a WHOLE LOT of influence on their sons .

She didn't "request" anything. Read it one more time. Please see my #37488 for a more complete reply.

Anecdote is not Scripture.

Please remember:

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

IMO, your prayers are wasted if they are not made in the name of the Lord.
