Representatives from Mirvish Productions announced her death in a statement on Friday, saying that she passed away at home surrounded by family.
A funeral will be held on Monday at Holy Blossom Temple in Toronto.
The Hamilton, Ont., native was married to Ed, the founder of Toronto’s iconic discount store Honest Ed’s, for 65 years, until he died at the age of 92 in 2007.
