Maternal Great-Grandmother (RIP) Ma Mary 
Paternal Grandmother (RIP) Died before I was born

I was unoriginal...
Maternal grandmother (RIP): Grandma
Maternal grandfather (RIP): Grandpa
Paternal grandmother (RIP): died before I was born
Paternal grandfather (RIP): Grandpa
When I was little, if I was talking about all my living grandparents collectively, they were "Grandma and Grandpa and the other Grandpa" - the "other" Grandpa being my paternal one.

May my grannies rest in peace:
Maternal Grandma : Edi-Mae (she never let us call her grandma)
Paternal Grandma: Mone Kate (my dad and his siblings called her 'mone' (said fast) so i guess the grandkids just added her name)
May my grandaddy rest in peace:
Paternal Grandpa: Paw Paw
I never knew my maternal grandad.
