If the parents are unfit or agree to you having them and the judge agrees to it. Grandparents have no automatic right to the grandchildren. If the parents are unfit and another relative also seeks custody they may have the same chance to get them. The judge would look at what would be most suitable for the child.

What is a maternal grandmother who is deceased prior to the birth of grandchildren called?

A grandmother is a grandmother, whether she died before the grandchild was born or years after. If she died long before the grandchild was born, she may not know when she became a grandmother, but that is another matter. The English language does not have a word or phrase for a grandparent who died before the grandchild was born.
