Mint has always been my go-to grandma-friendly system. I remember using it when I was in my single-digit years. Most intuitive operating system ever. :)
To be honest, I think most people should start with Linux Mint. So good. I don't even have to think much after installing.
Zorin too - it's rescued two old machines for me and is even more grandma-friendly than Mint imo. And I'm an actual old lady.
Zorin seems good. I unfortunately had crashing issues with it, but that was a long time ago (a few years, but I think it was in beta back then).
