From People: "Ruth Buzzi's Husband Shares the Actress and Comedian Has Suffered a Series of 'Devastating Strokes'"
Ruth Buzzi's husband, Kent Perkins, posted this on her Facebook page July 19:
This photo was from nearly a year ago on Ruthie's birthday. She wants you to know she is not in pain and is aware you are sending your best wishes her way as she battles the results of devastating strokes that have left her bedridden and incapacitated. She can still speak and understand, she still recognizes all her friends and loved ones. I am reading to her your wonderful comments and she smiles.
I might add that I am living with an attitude of gratitude for 43 years of marriage to my best friend, the greatest person I ever met, the one and only Ruth Buzzi. Her love for others knows no bounds, and she has spent a lifetime making people smile.
She is dealing with this situation bravely, and still with humor, believe it or not... and with the love of God in her heart and soul, she thanks you for being her friend. And for the love you've shown her continuously for the past six decades or more...
Whatever happens, please know you have always been loved right back in return.

That's too bad. I remember her so well from 1970s TV.
Really sad to hear about this. It seemed like she was always on one of the daytime game shows growing up.
I heard about this a few days ago on the radio, she used to live in the Dallas area.
