Obituary:  Actress Kirstie Alley, 71, has died after a battle with cancer.  She was known for her roles in television sitcoms like Cheers.

For many years she had a home in Ruch, Oregon, which is a few miles outside of Jacksonville.  She fell in love with southern Oregon many years ago.

Snip:

Alley’s death was confirmed through her official social media presence, which shared a statement from her children.

“To all our friends, far and wide around the world… We are sad to inform you that our incredible, fierce and loving mother has passed away after a battle with cancer, only recently discovered,” reads the statement. “She was surrounded by her closest family and fought with great strength, leaving us with a certainty of her never-ending joy of living and whatever adventures lie ahead. As iconic as she was on screen, she was an even more amazing mother and grandmother.”
