She was 89 and no doubt lead a truly fulfilling life, and so I think objectively it's not a sad passing - she had a truly remarkable life and long life.
That said, she was a significant part of my childhood, and always on the television in the various households I've lived in for one show or another. It feels like losing a beloved grandmother, and I'm devastated. RIP Maggie.
She was one of the people I mentally considered immortal. She has been 'old' my entire life.
