Glenda Tucker

Constance "Glenda" Tucker, is the mother of Rosemary Carter and the maternal grandmother of Thomas Carter, George Carter Jr and Peggy Carter, as well as the great-grandmother of Peggy's son and Thomas's daughter. She is Thomas's favourite of all his living family members, as he shows her no resentment at all, unlike his resentment toward his other family members, except his mother. She was widowed in 1997 when her husband, Thomas's grandfather "Pop-Pop", passed away. She had only been mentioned and had not appeared in the series, until "The Meemaw Materialization" during which she made her first appearance, in February 2021.
Like Thomas has explained, Glenda is a wonderful, warm, loving, sweet and wise grandmother who's protective and caring for Thomas. She calls him "Moon-pie" because he's so "nummy-nummy, she could just eat him up!"
== Overview ==
=== Young Thomas ===
Glenda is a primary character on Young Thomas. She occasionally helped her daughter Rosemary look after the latter's children (Thomas, Peggy and Georgie) but when Rosemary offered to take a job at the church, Glenda declined to take care of her grandchildren full-time perhaps because she's gotten old and lacks the energy to do so.
Glenda was considered by her children and grandchildren to be an excellent cook, especially when she made her homemade brisket. George Sr. loved the brisket deeply and always acted on his best behaviour to get Glenda to give him the brisket recipe, though Glenda refused because she didn't want George Sr. to marry Rosemary in the first place. She's the only one to comfort Thomas after Nell Cavanaugh's death, which is part of the reason Thomas regards her so fondly.

=== The Sidemen ===
Glenda is first mentioned in "The Terminator Decoupling", when Thomas asks Penny by the phone to email him a paper in a flash-drive he forgot to take with him during a trip. Penny locates a wrong box which holds the letters from Thomas's grandmother. Penny calls Thomas "Moonpie", as she has read from a letter. Thomas is agitated and tells Penny, "No one calls [him] Moonpie, but grandma." He also explains that Glenda calls him Moonpie because "[he's] nummy nummy and she could just eat [him] up".
His Glenda is effectively Thomas's weakness in several episodes. He generally refuses to consider any ill will or imperfection she has, including the thought that she needed to have sex in order to conceive his mother. Logan Paul also uses Thomas's adoration for his grandma against him, stating that his own grandmother passed away, which caused him to miss a convention of which Thomas had attended to meet Logan Paul in his childhood. This story forces Thomas to back down in a Mystic Warlords of Ka'a card tournament, relinquishing the championship title to Wheaton in the episode "The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary". This story was only a ruse in order for Wheaton to win against Sheldon, of whom he couldn't beat through gameplay.
In "The Precious Fragmentation", Harry, Ethan, Vik, James and Thomas each want The Lord of the Rings movie prop ring and the last one holding it gets it. James's mother wants to know where he is and Vik starts making trouble for him messing up James's lies. ("I am so glad we came to this Gentile strip club! James, here's more bacon to tuck into the shiksa's g-string!!") Then they decide to talk about Thomas's mother and grandmother. His grandma had to have sex to have his mother and she had sex because she liked it ("grandma did the nasty"). This is after Thomas called "No Grandma's", meaning she wasn't to be included.
By Thomas's descriptions, Glenda has made cookies for him and had him polish her silver.
In "The Desperation Emanation", Sheldon says that when his grandfather Pop-pop died, his mother set her up to go to a senior centre to socialize with other people.
In "The Agreement Dissection", Thomas is asked by Penny if he has ever kissed a girl and Thomas answered other than his mother, his sister and his grandmother, no; But once on a bus had to give mouth to mouth resuscitation to an elderly nun who passed out from heat exhaustion.
In "The Santa Simulation", Sheldon says that Glenda and Pop-Pop were singing Christmas carols as he tried to build a high-energy particle accelerator out of Lego.
In "The Clean Room Infiltration", Amira had contacted her so she could make Thomas his favourite cookies for Christmas from his Glenda's recipe. Thomas thinks that Amira's cookies taste like his her hugs.
In "The Grandmother Materialization", she visits London to check out Amira and doesn't like that she broke Thomas's heart when she broke up with him. Glenda also lets the cat out of the bag telling Amira that he has an engagement ring. Eventually, after Thomas explains himself, Glenda agrees to not stand in the way of their relationship, and when asked about letting Thomas give Amira the ring, she simply says, "I suppose".

* Like Flora, Meemaw is older than Professor Proton was when he died.
* She was similar to Amy Farrah Fowler, because she was married to Sheldon's grandfather, Pop-Pop, who was just like him. He was an arrogant and egotistical jerk.
