It was the result of the annual Mayberry Pie Eating Jamboree. Mrs. Taylor was sucked into a giant boysenberry processing machine. Nobody knew about it until they found a toe in a pie at the County Fair. Opey was the one eating the pie at the time and he recognized his mothers ingrown tow nails which he had scraped for her on hot summer nights.

All we were ever told is that she died and that was told us on the pilot for "The Andy Griffith Show" which appeared on "The Danny Thomas Show". Opie's pet turtle, Wilford, was stepped on and killed by "Mrs. Balford" out in front of the ice cream parlor and he wants Andy to arrest her for 'murder', give her a fair trial and "hang her."
Andy tries to help Opie deal with the loss by talking about how it was when Opie's 'ma' died. Opie looks to Andy and says, "Who stepped on Ma?" That was the only time Andy's first wife was mentioned. Besides the pilot, she is also mentioned in "Wedding Bells for Aunt Bee." Opie asks Andy, "Did you and Ma have that kind of love?" Andy replies, "Yes, son, we did."

Andy was a widower so Opies mom died. I don't think they ever mentioned how she died.

No idea... they just wanted Andy to be single so it'd be more appealing to audiences.
