Grandma Flanders

"Hello, Joe."

- Grandma Flanders

Grandma Flanders is the extremely old grandmother of Ned Flanders. She first appeared in the flashback episode "Lisa's First Word".

She appeared when a young Bart was staying with the Flanders family while Marge was giving birth to Lisa. He was running down a hallway when he ran into her and she nearly frightened him to death. She then called Ned ("Joe") and asked him to help her with her psalms.

Grandma Flanders reappeared in a flashback sequence in the season 26 episode "The Kids Are All Fight". She is left responsible for babysitting Bart and Lisa along with Rod and Todd while their parents go to brunch together. She appears to die, leaving the children unsupervised, but at the end of the episode, it's revealed that she just barely survived. However, she was so weak that just hearing Ned's songs of praise was enough to actually kill her, according to Homer.
