Mrs. Fry (née Gleisner) is the mother of Philip J. Fry who lived in a completely trashed house somewhere in Flatbush, Brooklyn. She loves sports more than her children, such as when she was giving birth to Philip, she cared more about a baseball game and was too busy playing golf when Yancy Fry Jr. was trying to steal his clover. She was also too excited about a football game to wonder where Philip had disappeared to. Mrs. Fry and Yancy Fry Sr. didn't care about their son and thought sending him to school was a waste of tax money and didn't bother much looking for him when he was frozen in December of 1999. Despite this, Mrs. Fry truly loved her children, as she admitted that she did miss Fry very much after he disappeared (3ACV14). She once advised Fry that, regardless of how dumb or ugly he might be, he's good-hearted and that's what matters (6ACV05), which shows that she was far wiser than what her negligent antics suggested.
