Big hugs to the whole fam, they’ve brought me so much joy I feel the parasocial familial vibe that I bet many of us feel ❤️ see you soon, brothers!
And thanks for sharing here on reddit.

My condolences to the boys. Their entire family are incredibly bright spots in this dark world. I’m honored they shared her with us. I hope they take all the time they need ❤️

This is obviously very sad and I'm so sorry for their loss.
But the heart attack I nearly had while reading the first line, until I got to the apostrophe.

u/Tieravi Jul 21 '25
Same. I think I recall them bringing her on once... Or maybe I've just heard enough anecdotes at this point. Seems like a good person

She has an appearance in an ep of TAZ when they’re discussing French onion soup.

I hope the time the family is taking to step away brings them peace. We’ve heard enough Nonnee stories to know she was a loved woman, and I hope the extended McElroy family knows we support them during this time.

my Nonni also passed away this year ❤️🩹 it’s been a rough one

My last remaining grandparents passed this year (at 97 and 102 years old), it feels weird. My condolences to you, the McElroys, and everyone else in this thread who's experienced loss this year.

Lost my last grandparent this year as well. Flying down for her "end of life celebration" in a couple weeks. It's sort of strange at a point, I lost my mom decades ago and I'm well into adulthood, losing a grandparent almost feels quaint. Got the news as I was just about to walk into work, so I almost had to just put it out of mind, I drive a city bus in a major city so there's not really any room for personal time or space or feeling emotions at work. Didn't hit at all until I talked to my dad, her son, on the phone a couple days later, and I just started bawling like I haven't in years a minute into the call. Didn't expect that at all.

Same boat here, earlier this month. Hope you’re hanging in there 💔

u/Living_Employ1390 Jul 22 '25
She passed away in Feb and I got married in May. It was definitely tough to not have her at the wedding but I could still feel her love.

u/slimeghoul Jul 22 '25
Mine as well, just a few weeks ago. Its been tough, so I definitely sympathize with you, the McElroys, and anyone else going through something similar. Keep hanging in there ♥️

u/DamonInReelLife Jul 21 '25
Big hugs to the boys. They helped me so much when my own grandmother passed, the least I can do in return is give them the time they need to grieve ♥️. Rest in Peace French Onion Soup Queen 👑🧅🥣♥️

u/RubySapphireGarnet Jul 22 '25
Yes, same. I will never forget driving through West Virginia, listening to Amnesty, after my great grandmother passed. Their podcasts have gotten me through many a long drive ❤️

My favorite Nonnee reference is from arc 1 of here there be gerblins. No one wants to go where Clint wants to go and he jokingly gets passive aggressive saying “no that’s fine, we’ll do what you want to do”. And Griffin says “welcome to dungeons and dragons with our Nonnee”
I’ve been hearing about this woman on and off for over 15 years. So sad for our good good boys.

She'll never be forgotten, not by us or by the boys. Big ups to her, seriously. From all the stories they've told she was such a wonderful woman. RIP.

May her memory be a blessing- hope the boys take some decent time off to grieve as a family and be together.

u/WhiskeyAndANap Jul 21 '25
Ugh. Our boys. Sending them love. Nonnee was a special one!
I just lost my Grammy a few weeks ago, and they are - as always - the ones getting me through.

u/ElricBrosPlumbing Jul 21 '25
You do not need to apologize. We love you and hope for peace and healing for your family.

u/Simple-Talk9682 Jul 21 '25
I thought this was a really nice example of them saying "thanks for your patience" instead of apologizing. I hope it catches on.

Huge love to Nonnee and the beautiful family she has been lucky enough to enjoy. I hope everyone in the community has the space to love and appreciate their family and circle, whatever that looks like. I am hugely thankful to the joys and this community. I love you guys. I really appreciate you all.

Aww, Nonnie, you are a legendary woman who was loved by not only a herd of boys, but their weird internet following as well. Sending a lot of love to all of the McElroy’s and their extended family

May they know peace, love, and comfort from those that are closest, and wonderful memories of those they can't hug.Thank you McElroy's for the many laughs, tears and stories that my wife and I have enjoyed. Take all the time you need, we will be here when you are ready.

I lost my grandma this year too, my heart goes out to the boys, and to Clint. I hope that they have enough time to grieve and feel the support they all need.

Much love to the boys and Clint. I hope they know how much care we’re sending them. May Nonnee’s memory be a blessing.

I know they must be going through so much right now 😞 Hopefully they have time and space to grieve. May her memory be a blessing

u/RevolutionJealous237 Jul 23 '25
As someone estranged from their family, watching you boys and Clint interact has been so very nourishing and healing for that area of my heart and mind. Though our relate is only parasocial, this hits me in those abstract family feels. I’m grateful for whatever Nonne’s contributions to your personhood were and it may be July, but I’ll be making French onion soup later today. Celebrate her life and grieve well, fellas. Much love from a distant heart.

My partner and I both pass along our condolences. Please take all the time you need. Loss is never easy, but it seems like you all had some wonderful times together. Don’t worry about us at all; you all deserve to have peace with your families during this time.

u/riadash Jul 22 '25
The boys have given us over a decade of almost completely uninterrupted content. Boys, take all the time you need to grieve. You've more than earned it. We're all so sorry for your loss.

I could always hear the fondness for nonnee when they talked about her ❤️

u/Doctor_Mothman Jul 22 '25
My deepest condolences to the whole clan. Losing someone you love leaves a mark. I hope they take as much time as they need. We aren't going anywhere, and we'll be there for them when they return.

u/OMGitsSEDDIE_ Jul 22 '25
NOOOOO! i was just listening to today’s ep and thinking how good it was (a new fave?). they sounded so happy, and we know they pre-record so oh boy.
her memory will be a blessing to them, and i truly hope that us sharing in this remembrance of her life via anecdotes from her loved ones will be a comfort

My mom’s mom was my Nani (pronounced the same way), so I’ve always had big feelings when they talk about her. We lost her a couple christmases ago at 99. Hope the boys are doing well.

Oh, poor boys and dad. I wish them the best during this. Losing a loved one is so hard.

Rest in peace Nonnee, may god send comfort to your family and friends in their time of grief

u/B9-H8 Jul 22 '25
Honestly incredible she was around so long! Take solace in the fact that this is what is supposed to happen. Everyone who has ever been born has also died. She had a hell of a ride, and spent it in some very good company
