How was she related to Andy and Opie? Whose aunt was she?

You really are a Rain Man, aren't you? I hope you can at least divide 12 figure numbers in your head.
Aunt Bea was Andy Taylor's maternal aunt. Andy's wife had died (I guess shortly after Opie was born) and he had a live-in housekeeper for a few years. She got married and moved out and that's when Aunt Bea moved to Mayberry and in with the Taylor's as a housekeeper and mother/guardian to Opie. All this is in the first episode of The Andy Griffith show.
