The Grandmother is Bailey's mother and an elderly woman from the South. Despite her age, she is a naive woman who seems to solely focus about herself. She takes her cat in the car against her son's desires, which ultimately causes the collision that results in the family's deaths.
The grandmother dresses up for the trip while the rest of the family wears more casual attire, including a fancy hat that she hopes will help people recognise her as a proper lady if they are killed in a car accident. This demonstrates how concerned she is with appearing respectable.
She repeats platitudes about how much easier and better things used to be when speaking with Red Sam Butts, but when the Misfit threatens to kill her, she is totally unprepared to face death. The Grandmother continuously asserts that the Misfit must have good intentions despite the fact that the rest of her family is being taken into the woods and killed because she is unable to accept that he might genuinely be as immoral as he appears to be.
Until she extends a hand to the Misfit and briefly connects with him, she doesn't seem to realise that these are her last moments on earth. She then claims that he is also her son.
