Maude Flanders was a major character of The Simpsons in the first 11 seasons, was the first wife of Ned Flanders, and the late mother of Todd and Rod Flanders.
Maude was a devout Christian who once attended a Bible camp to learn how to be more judgmental, although she isn’t as preachy as her husband. She campaigned strongly against Itchy and Scratchy with Marge and often partnered with Helen Lovejoy as they protest against the "evils" in Springfield. She died after being struck by a barrage of shirts fired from t-shirt cannons at the Springfield Speedway in "Alone Again, Natura-Diddily".
