What is up with all the death lately?! RIP. I had hoped she'd return for the sequel to A Christmas Story but she had reportedly retired from acting. I am sad she is gone.:(

I know it was Ralphie's movie, but I really loved the mom. :)

Ahh. I remember her mostly from Close Encounters. She was a great actress, how sad.

I don't think I have ever seen Close Encounters. :o
I know A Christmas Story is Ralphie's movie, but I always really liked the mom. :)
