Not too long after Seinfeld lost one of its alumni, now they have lost another. Liz Sheridan, who was best known for playing Jerry Seinfeld's fictional mother on the legendary NBC sitcom from the 1990s, as well as the nosy neighbor Mrs. Ochmonek on ALF, died of natural causes at 93 years old.

Sheridan shared her life with musician and writer Dean Wales, to whom she was married from 1985 until 2003, when Wales passed away. Sheridan is currently survived by her daughter and her son-in-law.

Sheridan noted that it was the first time both she and James had their true first love. According to Sheridan, Dean had proposed marriage, but they ultimately split when Dean went to Hollywood to pursue his acting career while Sheridan moved to the Virgin Islands to pursue her music career.
