Lucille Bliss, the voice of Smurfette, who was also the voicing talents of the cartoon character Crusader Rabbit, has died aged 96. Her death has been met with an array of endorsements of both her character and professionalism in an obituary by The Los Angeles Times.

Bliss died Nov. 8 from natural causes at an assisted living center in Costa Mesa, according to the Orange County coroner.
