Best Answer

The correct use is "was" since your grandmother is dead. Was is past tense and is is present tense, so when you use "is" you are really saying she is alive and her name is Alice.

It is more grammatically correct to say, "My grandmother's name was Alice" if she is deceased. This reflects the past tense and acknowledges that she is no longer alive.
