Rest well, Ann.

And your blue uniform !

That was a good show. She was very nice.

and she was in "Our Miss Brooks" as well, right?

i think that she played several shows.

Her timing was impeccable, She will be missed.

thanks….

I'm in my mid-60s, and have taken some nasty spills recently. RIP.

hubby has had two spinal surgeries and he takes his walker right up to the bathroom. We have safety bars in the tub and he has a handicapped tub seat. Our downstairs half bath has a handicapped toilet seat. I am scared to death of him falling in the bathroom as he takes blood thinners...he could bleed to death if he fell and hit his head...

Before we moved into this house, I had several times when I had to use a walker, and other safety equipment. When we designed this house, we made it all wheelchair accessible, safety rails all over the place in the bathrooms, a shower where we can sit while bathing, and lots of other features that have improved our safety for our old age (we're both in our early 60s).

Another thing to do is to see if you can get some sessions with an occupational therapist. They don't so much help you work as teach you ways to manage when you are impaired. It's simple things, like how to avoid falls, safer ways to wash, dress, do everyday chores.

At the same time I was getting physical therapy after my knee replacements, I also got occupational therapy. It's helped a lot. Since then, my Dad before his death and now my Mom have had therapists come into their home to help access the safety and to advise them on ways to avoid falls.

I think it's a good idea for everyone to have at least a couple of sessions with an OT as they age as a preventative measure. I know it made me think about ways I was doing things to make life safer.

At my mid 60s, I'm finding not so much. Maybe time for retirement, despite the Kochs wanting me to work till my grave.

After that, things just don't heal so good - and that was 20 years ago.

When I was in the rehab hospital after the first knee replacement, I scoffed at the idea of occupational therapy. But they showed me safe ways to do ordinary tasks. I'm glad I have that information. I may not need it right now, in between injuries, surgeries and wearing parts out, but it's come in handy with the two knee replacements, carpal tunnel surgery on both hands, and the growing weakness I have from not being able to keep active. I wish I had that information when dealing with my shoulder injuries and when my knees first started giving me problems, not to mention my bad back.

Getting old sucks, but knowing how to deal with the effects helps.

Ohhhh.....this is awful news.

Hell, we just had The Brady Bunch on this afternoon.

We are going to miss you so much.

R.I.P., Ann.

This was my Aunt. My Mother's twin sister. She died the day of my Husbands funeral service.

Hey God on High.. What else ya got?

My condolences to you and your family.

RIP Schultzy.

Falls are one of the leading causes of death and disability for seniors. I work for a local legislature and we did a Falls Prevention Program and designated the third week of September "Fall Prevention Month". I have copied a link to information about fall prevention.

Blended family, rich and wholesome, with domestic HELP... but not "too" rich, of course.

A lot of parents got the "Why can't WE have a maid?" noise as a result of that woman!

Another sad milepost on the road of time...

Sad
Life well lived

Loved her and the show since I was a kid. Never knew Alice had a last name. Rest in peace, Ann.

You made us laugh and cry and you will be missed!

with a good deal on meat.

She was a great character.

aka Love That Bob in the 1950s as "Schultzy". I was a little kid at the time and it was one of my favs.

She died the same way my father did.
