Someone else on here pointed out John Amos (Gordie), but Betty is the last cast member from the final seasons.

Yes, this is a tough year for fans of MTM Show!!!

wow, I didn't know that both Georgia Engel and Chloris Leachman had passed away. It's rather shocking that almost all the cast members passed away in such short order. Georgia and Valerie in 2019 and Gavin, Ed, Betty this year.

MTM - 2017
Georgia - 2019
Valerie - 2019
Cloris - 2021
Gavin - 2021
Ed - 2021
Betty - 2021

Even the show's co-creator Allan Burns passed away in 2021.

I didn't know Burns passed away either. Amazing so many of these people involved with the show lived over 50 years past its debut in 1970.

They were so blessed. I was a child then, but recall the show.
