Grandma Mary was a favorite among Pyxie’s followers, frequently appearing on the TikTok account to share her daily life. She was beloved for her upbeat personality and a warm, comforting smile that brought joy to her viewers.
Fans grew concerned when Pyxie stopped posting for several months in 2025. Upon her return in December, she reassured her audience, stating, “For anyone wondering, grandma is alive and quieter these days. What a beautiful thing it is to witness who she is, and who she helped me become.”

According to TMZ, Grandma Mary was born in Massachusetts in 1927. Her Armenian parents had fled the genocide and arrived in America via Greece.
