What happened to Siddhārtha Gautama wife Yashodhara?
score:6
When Lord Buddha's wife Yashodhara also joined Sangha (become bhikkhuni), what happened to her ?
As part of the Bhikkhuni order nothing special or noteworthy incidents through the Buddha acknowledged her past contribution to his enlightenment in realising the Parami.
And like anybody else she aged, decayed and passed away. On passing away she was truly free from suffering as she was enlightened.
Did she also get enlightened ?
Yasodharā achieved enlightenment.
Did his son Rahula get enlightened ?
Rāhula also achieved enlightenment.
... says Buddha can never be a woman
A woman can never become a fully enlightened Buddha. But a woman can achieve enlightenment as a disciple nun. Yasodara became a disciple nun not a Buddha. She was the wife of Prince Siddhartha. She became a nun later in the Buddha's Sasana. Also see: Bahu Dhātuka Sutta

There are at least three suttas to Rahula:
Yasodharā is mentioned as 'Baddha Kaccānā', having great wisdom in AN 1.245
