Margaret Kerry, who was best known for serving as the model for Tinker Bell in 1953's Peter Pan, died at 97. She also provided the voice of the red-haired mermaid from the Mermaid Lagoon in the film. I met her back in october 2025 at a convention and she was very lovely and sweet. I'm glad she lived a long life. RIP.

Met her about 20 years ago, she was lovely.

Says she died in Wilmington, NC, I visited there for a Disney fan gathering about 15 years back, I wonder if that’s where she was living?
