Fans will recall that Grandma Mary died of accidental drowning in June when she slipped and fell into a swimming pool in her Arkansas home. She was found by her daughter, Deanna, who subsequently alerted authorities. Mary was pronounced dead at the scene at age 78.

The news of her death came some months before Amy welcomed her first child – Daxton Ryan King – with her husband Dillon King, as per a USA Today story.
