"Mama Mina"
That's what I called her. Usually, in Latino families, you address your grandparents and other family members respectfully by their relation to you and their, at times, first name. Grandmother is Abuela, Grandfather is Abuelo, Aunt/Uncle is Tia/Tio, etc ..

Funny thing was, I never called her Abuela Maria, it was either Abuela Mina or my favorite, Mama Mina!! What I found even more amazing about her was that she NEVER minded it. The term of endearment, "Mama Mina" was used by nearly everyone outside the family as well.
