|hair = Brown}}''' | '''Bubby''' (see [[Bubby#Name|name section]] for spelling) is the fun and energetic maternal grandmother of [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] and [[Catherine Frensky|Catherine]], and the mother of [[Laverne Frensky|Laverne]], and also the mother-in-law of [[Oliver Frensky|Oliver]]. | ||
'Bubbie' is a Yiddish term of endearment which is interchangeable with 'grandmother', the original Yiddish being ''bubeleh''. Bubbie's last name is unknown because she is on [[Laverne Frensky|Laverne]]'s side of the family. She practices the Jewish religion, like Francine's family. She went to [[Westboro Apartments#Frenskys' Apartment|Francine's family's apartment]] to celebrate Yom Kippur in "[[Is That Kosher?]]". | |||
In "[[The Great MacGrady]]," it was revealed that her husband died of cancer. She is one of two guest stars that have returned with speaking roles, with Lance Armstrong being the only other guest star. | She first appeared in ''[[Arthur's Perfect Christmas]]'', but became recognized as an official character in ''Is That Kosher?''. In "[[The Great MacGrady]]," it was revealed that her husband died of cancer. She is one of two guest stars that have returned with speaking roles, with Lance Armstrong being the only other guest star. | ||
She possibly has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, because in "[[Grandpa Dave's Memory Album]]" she thoroughly cleans Francine's apartment, and she even cleans Arthur's dishes after she eats over at his house with Francine. | |||

Francine and Bubby get along well too, and Francine seems to be the person with the most interaction with Bubby. The two do many things together. | Francine and Bubby get along well too, and Francine seems to be the person with the most interaction with Bubby. The two do many things together. | ||

Not much interaction is seen between Oliver and Bubby, but it can be (deeply) assumed that she loves him a lot. | Not much interaction is seen between Oliver and Bubby, but it can be (deeply) assumed that she loves him a lot. | ||
