Her death was noted in the episode "Selma's Choice", in which she died of a bowel obstruction. Her funeral at the Lucky Stiff Funeral Home in Littleneck Falls was attended by the Simpson family and a few other people, who all left when they realized Gladys was not wealthy. The Reverend giving the service thought she was a man.
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 Bouvier [see below] from China).
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.
