Granny Snuffle is Mr. Snuffleupagus and Alice's grandmother. She lives in Cincinnati, Ohio which is far enough away from the Snuffleupagus family that she needs to take a plane to visit them. She enjoys visiting with her relatives, making coleslaw and spaghetti soup, and singing "Snuffle Off to Buffalo" with her grandchildren.
