If your father signed a standard POA, his subsequent POA revoked and therefore supercedes the previous POA to you. You do not have to revoke it since you are not legally obligated to

act or assume responsibility for decisions or managing his affairs. You may wish to merely deliver the POA to your mother so there is no issue regarding authority to act.
