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".
Although she spent much of her free time in prayer and reading the Bible, Maude was known to let her hair (and her neckline) down for the occasional dinner party at the home of the Simpsons (Maude's neighbors).
Homer Simpson and Moe Szyslak both find her attractive as shown when Moe made unnamed phone calls to her and Homer once ogled Maude's low-cut dress at a dinner party, which resulted in him and Marge going to marriage camp.
Maude liked ficus plants, unflavored nonfat ice milk, and Newsweek Magazine. In one episode, when Marge was arrested for accidental shoplifting, Maude was one of the people who missed Marge’s treats during a bake sale.
After her so called death, Marge was mildly surprised and concerned to discover Maude's three pairs of shoes as she believes this to have been a fetish.
In 2000 episode "Alone Again, Natura-Diddily", Maude died after being knocked off a grandstand by several t-shirt cannons at the Springfield Speedway. The shirts had been meant to hit Homer, who wanted one of them. However, before the shirts could hit him, Homer noticed a bobby pin on the ground and bent over to pick it up. This caused Maude, who was returning to her seat behind Homer, to be struck instead, and fall off the grandstand to her death, at least a 20-foot drop. According to Homer's statement later in the episode, he had parked in the ambulance zone, which prevented any quick resuscitation.
Her death crushed Ned and their sons, Todd and Rod, who, although used to some measure of hardship (their house getting destroyed) assumed they would always be together (the actual reason her character was killed off was due to a pay dispute between the actress who voiced her character and the show's producers) and they are still together since Maude can be seen next to Flanders in Take My Life, Please.
Apparently, Homer fell in her grave, which Ned mentioned. Reverend Lovejoy eulogized her as follows: "In many ways, Maude Flanders was a supporting player in our lives. She didn't grab our attention with memorable catchphrases, or comical accents. But whether you noticed her or not, Maude was always there ... and we thought she always would be." Though the episode aired in February 2000, the events appeared to take place before the winter meaning that the events probably took place before Winter 1999 and 2000.
PraiselandAfter her death, the grieving Ned Flanders and the Simpsons saw in her sketchbook a series of drawings that outlined a plan for a Christian-themed amusement park named "Praiseland." Realizing this park to be her so thought final dream, Ned acquired the defunct amusement park "Storytime Village" from Colonel Antoine "Tex" O'Hara ("The Rich Texan") and, with the assistance of Homer and other townspeople, built and opened Praiseland. He memorialized Maude there with a statue of her and placed on its base a plaque bearing the phrase: "She taught us the joy of shame and the shame of joy."
