Emmy-award winning actress Doris Roberts, best known for her role as meddlesome Marie Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond, died Sunday. She was 90.

Roberts received five Emmy Awards, earning one in 1983 for a guest appearance on St. Elsewhere, and four for her work on Everybody Loves Raymond. TMZ first reported the news Monday afternoon, and Roberts' co-star, Patricia Heaton, confirmed it on Twitter. "My wonderful TV mother-in-law and ELR nemesis Doris Roberts was a consummate professional from whom I learned so much," Heaton wrote. "She was funny and tough and loved life."
