step-grandmother
Grandparent by marriage
A step-grandmother is the wife of one's biological grandfather, or the mother of one's stepparent.
The relationship forms through remarriage rather than blood: My step-grandmother came into my life when Grandpa remarried after Grandma died.
Like other step-relations, the term describes family bonds created by marriage rather than descent.
