After a five year remission period, Gleason had a recurrence of endometrial cancer. Her treatment took place at the start of the coronavirus outbreak. Because of pandemic concerns, family and friends were unable to visit the Friends actress during her month-stay at the hospital. After moving from the hospital two months ago, Gleason spent her last days at a friend’s home.

Gleason’s family will hold a personal memorial ceremony, where she will be cremated. Not only did the Intolerable Cruelty actress battle cancer, she also dealt with manic depression. Fans are asked to honor Gleason’s legacy by sending donations to a charity that supports funding and research for bipolar disorder.

Gleason’s manager told Variety that “she was a fighter to the end.” Gleason’s nephew, John Brostrom, said to Entertainment Tonightthat his aunt is survived by a “large, loving extended family.”

In the award-winning Chuck Lorre sitcom, Christy Jolene Plunkett (Anna Faris) struggles with sobriety and raising two children as a single mother. Christy’s mother, Bonnie Plunkett (Allison Janney), is also a recovering alcoholic.

Jaime Pressly (Joy Turner)

“Mary Pat and I have had some funny, light conversations, but we’ve also had quite a few heavy ones,” stated Pressly. “This lady can look you in the eye and literally feel you. She and I have that in common. It’s a blessing and a curse.”

“So there have been those moments in conversation when I’d look at her dead in the eyes, and she’d stare right back into mine, and we’d both just get choked up because we could feel each other’s heavy,” added Pressly.

Beth Hall (Wendy)

Hall remembered, “Mary Pat Gleason was in the first episode I ever shot of Mom and I loved every time she returned. I can honestly say that I have never met a person that was all goodness and kindness like she was.”
