Sheila MacRae Obituary
The actress died Thursday at the Lillian Booth Actors Home in Englewood, New Jersey, MacRae's granddaughter, Allison Mullavey, told The Associated Press on Friday.
Take the Honeymooners/All In The Family quiz
A singer, dancer and actress, she was married to "Oklahoma" star Gordon MacRae for 26 years and they appeared together in 1964 on "The Ed Sullivan Show" when the Beatles were featured.
In an earlier version, Audrey Meadows starred with Jackie Gleason as lovebirds and sparring partners Ralph and Alice Kramden in "The Honeymooners." Sheila MacRae replaced Meadows as Alice in a later version from 1966-70 on "The Jackie Gleason Show." MacRae was the last survivor from the 60s edition of the Gleason show. Jane Kean, who played Trixie Norton, died last fall.
"She lived a good life and a long life," Allison Mullavey told the AP. "We'll miss her."
A native of London, MacRae made a cameo as herself on "I Love Lucy" in the 50s.

FUN, A BREATH OF FRESH AIR, SHEILA WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON AND A GREAT ACTRESS. SHE WAS GREAT TO BE ON THE HONEYMOONERS AND ALL OF HER OTHER SHOWS AND MOVIES. ANOTHER GREAT ACTRESS HAS GONE ON, AND I KNOW WE CAN'T TURN BACK THE CLOCK, BUT I FEEL I AM LOSING ALL OF THE "GREAT ONES" I GREW UP WITH. GUESS GOD AND JESUS HAD OTHER PLANS FOR THIS GREAT LADY, BET SHE IS ENTERTAINING EVERYONE IN HEAVEN WITH GREAT APLOMB! SURE AM GOING TO MISS HER!

I am so sorry for your loss. Matthew 5:4 says: Happy are those who mourn, since they will be comforted. Yes you are mourning now but soon you may be happy when God bring back to life and health all those in his memory. Please find some strength and comfort from knowing that soon you may see Ms. Sheila again, doing what she loved and you enjoying her again.

To the Baby Boomers the name Sheila MacRae is well known and better still her smile and talent as she entertained us and made us laugh at ourselves. We will miss her along with you.
