Corrected entry: In the Christmas Episode (s1e8), we are told Fran's watch meant a lot to her because her grandmother gave it to her on her deathbed. In this episode Fran has two living grandmothers.

Correction: Fran's bubbe (Yiddish for grandmother) Sophie is dead though, this is mostly likely a reference to her.

Who is Sophie? Fran's Grandmas are Nettie Fine and Yetta Rosenberg. Both are alive.

Bubbie Sophie is mentioned in S4xE4 The Rosie Show. She's portrayed in the dream cemetery sequence by Fran Drescher. I believe that Bubbie Sophie is meant to be Yetta's mother, so Fran's great-grandmother, and she may have died right before Fran was born, or when Fran was a baby.
