Ellen
Martha Corinne "Caren" Walton was played by actress Ellen Corby on the television series "The Waltons." Corby is best known for her portrayal of Grandma Esther Walton, the matriarch of the Walton family, throughout the series' run from 1972 to 1981. Her performance earned her critical acclaim and multiple Emmy Awards.
Janet's mom on "The Waltons" was played by actress Ellen Corby, who portrayed Grandma Esther Walton. John Boy’s mother-in-law, in the series, was played by actress Mary Jackson, who took on the role of Sara Simpson. Both characters contributed to the show's portrayal of family dynamics in the Walton household.
The character Daisy in the "Abduction" episode of "Bonanza" was played by actress Ellen Corby. The episode originally aired during the show's second season in 1961. Corby is also well-known for her role as Grandma Esther Walton on the television series "The Waltons."
No, the actress who played the mother, Ellen Corby, did not quit "The Waltons." She took a leave of absence from the show due to health issues after suffering a stroke in 1976. After her recovery, she returned to the series and continued to portray Grandma Esther Walton until the show's end.
No. You must be thinking of the Building & Loan customer who asked George Bailey for $17.50 during the 'run' on the banks. That was Ellen Corby, who played Grandma Walton late in her career, and who bore a resemblance to Thelma Ritter.

Grandma Walton was played by Ellen Corby. She was also in an episode on The Andy Griffith Show and Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. In both of those shows, she was a crook (not really like Grandma Walton, huh?).
