Zelena didn't die. Her body might have died, but her life force didn't. Moreover, I remember in that episode that she tricked Dorothy by foolnig her that she died. That is a hint that she did not die. Comparing Cora's case to her is not valid, because we saw Cora died. There is not pendant that took her life force. Maybe you can use Charming and Anastasia as your examples because they really died, but still, based on the reasons they mentioned, the happenings in Mother happened before the first curse.
