Touching the fly didn't kill Ned's mother. He touched the fly (it flew off), then went on the playdate, and after he came back his mother died.
The playdate was longer than 1 minute.

Did they show us the other dead fly? I remember the narrator specifically saying something about consequences after he re-animated the fly, then the mom dropped dead.

Oh, I'd forgotten about the playdate.

I wonder if he could eat his own pies with a fork or if the fruit would immediately turn bad in his mouth.
We saw exactly that happen last night with the strawberry.
I would imagine that eating normal produce would present no problem, as the first touch would revivify it and the next would return it to its dead but still fresh state. Meat might be a bit more problematic for the brief moment it's resurrected, but I doubt the second touch would make anything decay past the point it was at when served.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I think the show has established that there is an approximate equivalent value for the each life exchange. So when Digby was revived, a squirrel died. When Ned revived the fruits to their freshness, he didn't worry about any of the people at Pie Hole dying, but nearby flowers died. Oh, and in "Pigeon", Emerson specifically raised a question about this issue about the exchange ratio of the dead pigeon, and Ned wasn't worried about Olive or Emerson -- more for the squirrel. So while we didn't see the dead fly in exchange for the reaminated fly, I think we can safely assume that Ned didn't kill his mother the first time around.
I have no answers to why Ned didn't see Chuck all that time if he went to visit Couer d'Couer yearly. Maybe he was too wrapped up in grief each Halloween that he didn't bother checking out the aunts' house next door.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Maybe he was too wrapped up in grief each Halloween that he didn't bother checking out the aunts' house next door.
Or he was still too afraid of the aunts' house.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
or the shut-in aunts kept Chuck very much shut-in as well that Ned never even knew she was there?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I want to know, if dude canna eat fresh fruit pies, due to his own cheapitude, why is he not making custard pies? Pecan pie, lemon meringue pie, chess pie, grasshopper pie (which is actually marshmallows and creme de menthe)?
Show some imagination, pie dude! Or quit being so damn cheap.
