stepgrandparent
Spouse's parent's parent
A stepgrandparent is the spouse of one's biological grandparent who is not a biological grandparent themselves, or the parent of one's stepparent.
The relationship forms through remarriage rather than blood: My stepgrandmother came into our lives when Grandpa remarried after Grandma died.
