Actress Ann B. Davis had already won a pair of Emmys for her role on The Bob Cummings Show when she was cast in The Brady Bunch, but it is her portrayal of the lovable live-in housekeeper for which she is best remembered. Davis died on Sunday at the age of 88 following a fall in her Texas home.

Cast members of the iconic show were shocked and saddened to hear that Davis was gone, and have reacted to the news with their personal memories of the beloved actress. On Good Morning America today, Barry Williams, who played Greg Brady on the series, called Davis the “glue that held The Brady Brunch together.”

“I was reflecting throughout the day yesterday about one of the first times I met her,” stated Williams. “She was already a big star when she joined The Brady Bunch, won a couple of Emmys with The Bob Cummings Show, and I knew that this was someone I wanted to pay attention to, but she had a wicked sense of humor.”

Maureen McCormick, who played oldest Brady daughter Marcia, gave this statement to Entertainment Tonight: “I admired Ann B so much as an actor … she was one of the greats. Most of all I admired her heart.

“She was a dear friend … deep, honest and true. She was one of my earliest role models, and that continues to this day. She made me a better person. How blessed I am to have had her in my life. She will be forever missed.”

Christopher Knight, the show’s Peter Brady, released this statement to ET: “It is with sadness that I hear of the passing of Ann B. Davis. At the same time, it is with fondness that she will be remembered. As with perhaps all of America, I smile when I think of Alice. Ann B. Davis was used by all of us Bradys (adults and kids) as the benchmark of professionalism and we are all better for having shared time working together.

“I will always remember Ann B as a much more complex and serious person than what her comedic roles would project. She was kind and caring but above all, she was an intensely private and contemplative person who balanced her self-respect with the respect she showed all those whom she came in contact with. She will both be missed and loved forever.”

Florence Henderson, who portrayed Brady matriarch Carol on the show, tweeted her feelings about losing a good friend. “I’m so shocked & saddened to learn my dear friend & colleague Ann B Davis died today. I spoke with her a few months ago & she was doing great.”

The Brady Bunch ran on ABC from 1969 until 1974. Funeral arrangements for Davis have not been announced.
