Skyler’s maternal grandfather’s surname was Woods.
Skyler’s maternal grandmother is Elena Guerriero (the daughter of William Guerriero and Eileen Elizabeth Toomey). William was born in Massachusetts, to Italian parents, Domenico/Dominic/Dominico Guerriero and Maria/Mary Mitchell/Michelli. Eileen was born in Massachusetts, to Irish parents, Michael D.

Does this Jewish great-grandma related to this Skylar Samuels as mentioned here: https://www.jewishtimes.com/harans/
I think that’s a different Skyler Samuels.
Skyler’s paternal grandfather was Frederick Samuels (the son of Harry/Hirsh M. Samuels/Schmulewitz and Charlotte ”Lottie” Katz). Frederick was born in New York, to Jewish parents.
I don’t know who her grandmother is, but her step-grandmother is Nanita Greene, former wife of Peter Griffith and mother of actress Tracy Griffith.
Skyler’s maternal grandmother is Elena Guerriero (the daughter of William Guerriero and Eileen Elizabeth Toomey). William was born in Massachusetts, to Italian parents, Domenico/Dominic Guerriero and Maria Mitchell/Michelli. Eileen was born in Massachusetts, to Irish parents, Michael D. Toomey and Catherine McCarthy.
Elena was married to Robert Dever, but I don’t think he’s Skyler’s grandfather. All her children have the last name Woods.
