Golden Girl Rue McClanahan has died at the age of 76.

"She passed away at 1 a.m. this morning," her manager, Barbara Lawrence, tells PEOPLE. "She had a massive stroke."

McClanahan, who played man-happy Blanche Devereaux on the still-popular '80s sitcom Golden Girls, had suffered a minor stroke earlier this year while recovering from bypass surgery. Lawrence adds that at the time of her death Thursday, McClanahan “had her family with her. She went in peace."

So the third death has arrived (if you believe in that sort of thing)
(and if you don't then an old lady just did what all old ladies eventually do)

I never watched Golden Girls but I'm sure she was a nice lady

And now only Betty White is left! But each Golden Girls death has only strengthened her as she consumes their souls

    You made a thread about her even though you don't apparently know anything about her just so you can post that "three deaths" bullshit?

    I wanted to get it out of the way before some doofus came in here talking about the trifecta
    I don't subscribe to it myself

    Also who cares who knows what about her?
    I'm sorry I pre-empted all the big Rue McClanahan fans here who were better suited to making the thread

    I know, right? Between Hallmark and WeTV and my DVDs I am pretty much never NOT watching Golden Girls.

    RIP, Rue. Blanche was always my favorite.

    Admittedly, I am very sad Rue died, but I was devastated when Bea died. She was my first crush.
