My grandma is changing phones; how do I turn her old phone into iTouch for another family member without a cellular plan? Thank you!

Just connect the iPhone to Wi-Fi and ignore the notice about "No Service" for cellular.
Just cancel the cellular plan. The iPhone will still work just like it did except for phone calls and texts, as long as it has a Wi-Fi connection.
