1. she was so good on that show ♥️

2. Back in the Monday Night Football days, someone held up a sign that was a picture of her and a picket fence. RIP D

3. No exaggeration, she was one of TV’s best comedians ever. NO ONE did deadpan better than she. She was incredible. RIP legend.

4. Well, Dee is my age … and she did make some of the best parts of that show. She along with Shirley was the Greek Chorus to the three guys (Raj, Dwayne, Re-Run) always playing to their own sweathogs squad opposite Kotter

   Even their mom only had the hugs as best entertainment … but Dee had the lines.

5. Damn, too young.😔

   I loved Dee 💔

6. One of the great alltime wisecrackers

7. I adored her and that show. Huge part of my childhood.

8. Dee was the funniest person on television. Absolutely a genius and so authentic

9. She was hilarious. Rip

10. Loved her on what’s happening!!
    Poor girl

11. One of the best sitcom foils ever. RIP

12. My favorite scene with Dee was when she called a friend on the phone to talk about homework. She kept asking her friend what answer she got for each question and Dee kept saying “yeah me too” copying her friend’s answers. She was so naturally deadpan funny at such a young age

13. She had the BEST clothes too! Her humor delivery was on point always, she definitely brightened up my childhood. I’m glad she’s not in pain any longer but I’m sad to see her have to go. 🙁

    p.s. adulting hurts

14. RIP to the good sis Dee. She is an absolute television icon.

15. This one definitely hit me, she was so great on that show.

16. RIP, this is sad to hear.

17. This makes me sad.

18. It seems like it’s always black people who die so young. Am I suffering from bias or is that just how it is?
