Her career spanned more than six decades beginning on Broadway where she starred in the original production of Fanny. Henderson was working up to the very present with her talk show Who's Cooking with Florence Henderson. In recent years, she was seen on Dancing With The Stars, The Surreal Life and even once appeared on WWE RAW. She also became a fixture at the Indianapolis 500 singing "God Bless America" as she did in 2011.
In the video below, she is singing "My Love" during a 1967 appearance on The Hollywood Palace.
But everyone remembers Henderson as Carol Brady. Although The Brady Bunch went off the air more than 40 years ago it remains as popular today as it was in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Henderson was the most identifiable and beloved member of that cast. She was the ideal mother, TV or no TV. Her passing is yet another kick in the gut in what has been a year of full gut kicks. 2016 cannot end soon enough.
