Hard to tell for sure with all the babies hitching a ride on mama, but I'm thinking Carolina Wolf Spider (Hogna carolinensis).

So hard to tell. With the line on her carapace being so thin…it could be a female Tigrosa species too.
Carolina wolf spider is the largest wolf spider, I agree with Nod, this is probably Tigrosa genus, intimidating but smaller.
