Actress Joyce Randolph, who starred as Trixie Norton on “The Honeymooners,” died Saturday at age 99.

Randolph passed away Saturday evening at her home in New York City, her son, Randolph “Randy” Richard Charles confirmed, according to People.

The famous actress died in her sleep after suffering the effects of old age, TMZ reported. Randolph, unable to walk, was in hospice care at the time of her death.

Randolph was the only surviving cast member of the main cast of “The Honeymooners,” a sitcom that aired in the 1950s, according to People. Randolph’s character, Trixie Norton, was married to Ed Norton, played by Art Carney.

“The Honeymooners” followed bus driver Ralph Kramden and his friend, sewer worker Ed Norton as they “struggle to strike it rich while their wives look on with weary patience,” a description on IMDB read.
