Biography
Life
Not much is known about her, but she was a member of VFD. Esmé Squalor claims that they were close friends at school, though the validity of this statement is in question.
She was the mother of Fernald and, much later, Fiona, who was born when her brother was a teenager. When Fiona was still young, Mrs. Widdershins re-married to Captain Widdershins, as her children's father "moved away." She was one of the original crew members of the Queequeg.
The only memory Fiona mentions of her mother is that she used to get upset if her daughter didn't clean her room. At some point, she owned a ruby ring.[1]
Death
It is unknown how Mrs. Widdershins was killed, though she seems to have died before or during Fernald's defection. Captain Widdershins claims that she was killed in a manatee accident, though Fiona disbelieves this; Lemony Snicket confirms that this is indeed a false explanation.[1]

Trivia
- "The submarine Q and its crew of two" originally referred to her and her husband.
- There is a theory that Mrs. Widdershins and Miranda Caliban are the same, meaning Friday Caliban is also her daughter.
- Fernald, Fiona and Friday are all names beginning with F, which could support this theory.
- Another fact supporting this theory is that most siblings in the series come in groups of three, and even on the rare occasions that only two siblings are known of, the existence of a third sibling is usually hinted at (such as the White-Faced Women). The only known siblings in groups of two (aside from Fiona and Fernald) are from All the Wrong Questions: Pip and Squeak Bellerophon, Kellar and Lizzie Haines, Zada and Zora, and Tatiana and Treacle Cozy.
- Something against this theory could be that Kit Snicket believes Friday's father and Miranda's husband, Thursday, is alive and well, and mentions dining with him the day before meeting the Baudelaires. The day before meeting the Baudelaires, Captain Widdershins was with them on his submarine, and by the time Kit was discussing Thursday, Kit believed the Captain to be either deceased or in mortal peril due to the crash of the Queequeg and arrival of the Great Unknown.
Appearances
- The Grim Grotto (mentioned)
