Yeah... she'd been sick with Lewy Body Dementia (basically a combo of Alzheimers and Parkinson's disease) for the last 8 years and wasn't able to do public appearances.
Got this from Wikipedia:
Quote:
Former "Golden Girls" co-star Rue McClanahan told The Associated Press. "Don't feel sad about her passing. She will always be with us in her crowning achievement, Sophia."
Bea Arthur said in a statement, "Our mother-daughter relationship was one of the greatest comic duos ever, and I will miss her,"
while Betty White remarked, "The only comfort at this moment is that although Estelle has moved on, Sophia will always be with us."
