Pat Carroll, a comedic television mainstay for decades, Emmy-winner for Caesar's Hour and the voice Ursula in The Little Mermaid has died at the age of 95.

Her daughter Kerry Karsian, a casting agent, said Carroll died at her home in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, on Saturday, while EW reported she passed away while recovering from pneumonia.

Her other daughter Tara Karsian wrote on Instagram that they want everyone to 'honor her by having a raucous laugh at absolutely anything today (and everyday forward) because besides her brilliant talent and love, she leaves my sister Kerry and I with the greatest gift of all, imbuing us with humor and the ability to laugh...even in the saddest of times.'

Carroll was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, in 1927. Her family relocated to Los Angeles when she was 5 years old.

Her first film role came in 1948 in Hometown Girl but she found her stride in television. She won an Emmy for her work on the sketch comedy series Caesar's Hour in 1956, was a regular on Make Room for Daddy with Danny Thomas, a guest star on The DuPont Show with June Allyson and a variety show regular stopping by The Danny Kaye Show, The Red Skelton Show and The Carol Burnett Show.

She also played one of the wicked stepsisters in the 1965 television production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella with Lesley Ann Warren.

What until some idiot comes in with the tired arm jab cause of death. Always can count of a few of those. Doesn’t matter she was 95.

I thought I had seen her on the TV show “The Mother’s In Law”, but that was Kaye Ballard.

Oh boy, what a day. RIP Pat Carroll!

I don’t think I ever knew she was Ursula! Ursula is my most hated Disney villainess. I’m so terrified of her that I could not even listen to a radio interview with the actress who played her on Broadway. So, obviously Carroll was excellent in the part!

She was on the last season of a show called “Too Close for Comfort.” Ted Knight was the lead of that show.

Her Ursula laugh was epic.

Voiced the grandmother in Garfield's Thanksgiving special. A family favorite. RIP, Ms. Carroll, and thank you for the laughs.

Not many.

She also played one of the wicked stepsisters in the 1965 television production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella with Lesley Ann Warren.And that is how I remember her most. She was so spectacular in that role. "She creaks."
