Answer:
The story of Little Red Riding Hood goes back over hundreds of years, probably to the 11th century.
You can read an interview with the researcher who decided that here: What Wide Origins You Have, Little Red Riding Hood! and the original paper in PLoS One here: The Phylogeny of Little Red Riding Hood
That means that there are literally dozens of versions of what happened between the Wolf, Granny, and her foolish granddaughter.
In most, the Wolf, who is always male, eats Granny. Whether she survives the experience or not varies. In some tales, she is cut from his stomach and released with her granddaughter. In others, she’s as dead as dead can be, and the huntsman, woodcutter, or woodsman avenges her and Red by killing the wolf but does not resurrect either of them.
In others, the wolf stuffs Granny in the cupboard or another convenient spot and leaves her there, so naturally she survives.
So either Granny gets eaten and dies, eaten and survives, or is stuffed into a cupboard, chest, or under the bed and survives.
Of course, in some adult-oriented retellings, the Wolf is a metaphor for Man’s sexual nature and seduces Granny then Red, or rapes them, or attempts to fornicate with them before being murdered by the Huntsman.
So it all depends on which version you’re reading.
What the Huntsman does with the wolf is far more universal however: he (almost) always kills him.
