Gladys's death was noted in the episode "Selma's Choice", in which she died of a bowel obstruction. She was thought to be wealthy but at her funeral at the Lucky Stiff Funeral Home in Littleneck Falls which was attended by the Simpson and Bouvier families' and a few other people all left when realizing Gladys was not wealthy.
Her will was recorded on video tape and was played by her lawyer, Lionel Hutz (who recorded over Gladys' voice in attempt to inherit $50,000, but was immediately caught out by Marge). In it, she left Marge her collection of potato chips which resemble celebrities — which were quickly eaten by Homer. She left Jacqueline her pet iguana Jub-Jub (Jacqueline was not pleased, stating "Why didn't she just leave me the bowel obstruction that killed her!"). And finally she left Patty and Selma a grandfather clock and a warning of the dangers of spinster-hood.
While Patty seemed to be unfazed by her plea, Selma took it to heart, and immediately set out to find the right man, who could give her children. She pursued the ideas of artificial insemination and marrying Hans Moleman, but, after a day at a theme park with Bart and Lisa, she decided motherhood wasn't the life for her and instead adopted Jub-Jub as her own pet (though she later would adopt a daughter named Ling from China in the episode "Goo Goo Gai Pan").
Gladys, like all Bouvier women, was voiced by Julie Kavner. This character, like all original characters in The Simpsons, was created by creator Matt Groening.
