Sunday March 16 Parade Magazine - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

CAJeannieFan57 · 03-17-2008, 08:45 PM

In Sunday's paper, in the Parade magazine's Personality column section (just inside the front cover), the question was asked about Suzanne's funeral and why there were female pallbearers. There was also a cute picture of Suzanne with Bob during TBNS days. I guess Suzanne planned her own funeral and one request is that they play the Emily song for her ... (The TBNS theme song, which is titled, "Home to Emily".)

Sorry to be so late in posting this - I meant to post it last night and got interrupted.

It was online, but without the photo. The photo was an old one from the 70s anyway, of her and Bob. Here it is, from www.parade.com:

Q At Suzanne Pleshette’s recent funeral, all of the pallbearers were women. How come?—Robert LaFrana, Wyoming, Mich.

A “Suzie was much sicker with lung cancer than she let on, and she had everything about her funeral planned out,” says Bob New-hart, her TV husband (1972-78), who delivered the eulogy. “She never played by the rules, so she wanted her six closest girlfriends, including Tina Sinatra, to be pallbearers. She even asked for a recording of the song ‘Emily,’ her character’s name on our show.”

She always seemed to be a lady who went against the grain and did things her way. Thanks for sharing the quotes.
