It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Peggy McCay. McCay is best known to daytime fans for her role as Caroline Brady on Days of Our Lives from 1983 - 2017. McCay passed peacefully in her sleep on Sunday morning (October 7, 2018) of natural causes. Her cousin, Denise Keil Smith was the one who broke the news.

To all of Peggy McCay's dear friend and family I have some sad news...Peggy passed peacefully in her sleep of natural causes Sunday morning at 1:00 am. She always appreciated you, her loyal fans, for all of the love and support that you gave her throughout the years. Peggy enjoyed a lifelong career of acting in television and movies. She loved working at Days of Our Lives nearly to the end. Acting and animal rescue were her passions in life.

McCay was 90 at the time of her death. McCay is also known for playing Susan Garet on The Young and the Restless from 1964 - 1966. She is a five-time Daytime Emmy award nominated actress. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends. This is really sad news for the soap community. May she rest in peace.

I just watched Class Reunion a couple nights ago and again really enjoyed the scenes of her and Andy. It's one of the best episodes of the show. Very touching. I don't watch the soaps, so this episode has always been my memory of her. She was perfectly cast and did a fine job. RIP.

"McCay was 90 at the time of her death. McCay is also known for playing Susan Garet on The Young and the Restless from 1964 - 1966".

I've never seen an episode of the Young and Restless, that said, I know it was not on in the years 1964-1966.

I agree with Samme, the Class Reunion episode was one of the best episodes of the series, I would take it one step further, it was also one of the best sitcom episodes of any of the 1960's series.
