Has there ever been any reference made to Grandma Simpson? Is anything known about her?

Just curious (and bored).
 
Yes, there have been a couple of episodes about grandma Simpson. In one, Homer finds out why grandma Simpson left him (because she was running from the law). Not so sure of the other granny though.
 
Homer's mom...yes...she has returned to Evergreen Terrance twice now...

the first time was quite a few seasons ago when she came back after she left homer as a child...but she had to leave again on the count of being sought by the Feds...Chief Wiggam left her to get away...


the second time was more recently when she messaged home by using a newpaper article about a giant pizza where her message was in the frist letter of each line. She met and they bonded and once again had to escape...she faked her death but Homer and the family never found that out and feel that is gone forever...
 
Marge's mom has only been mentioned here and there...she was more common in the first few seasons where she came over once for Thanksgiving (which Bart ruined) and also once when Abe Simpson fell in love with Mrs. Bouvier (Marge's mom) who was also being courted by Mr. C.M. Burns.
 
Grandma Mona Simpson is a fugitive. She left Grampa Abe because he was a male chauvenist. Lived a life of political activism. She sabbotaged Mr Burns Germ warfare lab in the 60s. After she is exhonerated Mr. Burns is able to have her brought up on federal charges of falsifying her name at the entrance to national parks. She escapes by faking her own death and sends Homer another secret message in a giant taco ad. Homer misses this message so the dramatic irony ensues.

Grandma Bouvier is Marge's disapproving mother. She visits occasionally. But with her ugly moods and negative attitude about everything she makes Patty and Selma look like the Olsen twins.
 
while we're on this subject, I think there was only one reference to marge's father
the episode where marge had a fear of flying, and the therapist traced it back to her discovering that her dad was a flight attendant when she was young
 
no..he has been referenced a few times...

the father liked Homer over Artie Zief (sp) while the mother didnt along with Patty and Salma when he came over to get Marge for the Prom...

there was also a flashback to this instance later on into the seasons when a similar reflection was made to his foundness for Homer over Artie
