I was just watching old re-runs of that show the other day. She was so funny in it!
Okay, I'm probably showing my age again - not sure how many of you remember when Golden Girls were on.

Unfortunately, Sophia passed away in the series finale of "Golden Girls." She died peacefully in her sleep after suffering a stroke.
No, Estelle Getty, the actress who played Sophia, did not die during the show. She passed away in 2008, almost 15 years after the show ended.
The other characters were devastated by Sophia's death. They held a small memorial service for her and reminisced about their favorite memories with her.
No, the show ended with Sophia's death. However, there was a spin-off show called "Golden Palace" that featured the other three characters running a hotel, but it only lasted one season.
No, Estelle Getty's death is not the reason for the lack of reunions or revivals. The show's creator, Susan Harris, has stated that she doesn't want to do a reunion or revival because it wouldn't be the same without all four original actresses.
