What happened to Andy Griffen's wife?

[Inchworm]

I never really thought about it...

I hadn't watched the show much due to its representation of city life. Mayberry is over the hill from here.

Anyone know off hand?

6. What happened to the original spouses of 'The Brady Bunch' couple?

Never saw the kids getting visits from the non custodial spouse so I assume they were dead. It was never discussed.

All these deaths are mighty convenient for someone.

27. Helen was sick and tired of living in a small town...

She forced Andy to move away from his beloved Mayberry on the threat of no more Blow Jobs on the 12th of each month...

Now he became what you would call a posal police officer based out of Cleveland, Ohio...

Helen got her wish, I guess, lulled by the bright lights of the big city...

She did come back to Mayberry with Andy but that whole mess of having to run for sheriff against his cousin Barney just took the wind out of their sales...

And that's what heppened to Andy Griffiths second wife...

His first wife, died...
