News from TAGSRWC about our Mayberry family below. I'm very sad to report that Amzie Strickland (Mayberry's Miss Rosemary and four other characters) passed away from complications of Alzheimer's on July 5 in Spokane, Wash. She was 87. She was an incredibly talented and gracious person whose amazing career included 650 TV guest-starring roles, 24 films, 3,000 radio shows, and countless commercials.
The family has not designated a charity for memorials, but they have said that Amzie always liked the idea of supporting local programs for the arts. TAGSRWC will be making a donation in her memory to the Surry Arts Council and to Spokane's CenterStage, a non-profit theater that Amzie founded and for which her son, Tim, serves as artistic director. We'll have a more complete recap of Amzie's wonferful life and career in The eBullet later this month. For now, we just wanted to let her Mayberry friends and fans know the news. --jim _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
