She passed away yesterday at age 92 after a battle with bone cancer.

This leaves Todd Bridges as the last surviving member of the original cast of Diff'rent Strokes. Incidentally, every other regular cast member of the entire run of The Facts of Life is still alive--including John Lawlor and Jenny O'Hara from the little-remembered first season, and Cloris Leachman from the final two seasons.
