She went ahead to star in a couple of films but became a household name following her role as Alice Garvey in Little House on the Prairie.

She played Alice Garvey in Little House on the Prairie from 1977 until 1980 when her character was killed in a fire accidentally set by Albert Ingalls.

The cause of death has not yet been made public but before the actress died, she had suffered from meningioma, a tumor in the membranes around the brain and spinal cord.

Jonathan Peverall announced; “Friends and family, By now the news of my mother Hersha Parady’s passing has likely already reached you, as it somehow found its way to the media. However, I wanted to confirm the news myself. Last night at the age of 78, she left us, and is now at peace.

My mother was a talented actor, but more importantly a beloved presence in many hearts – more than I had ever realized. I have been consistently astonished by the number of people that have expressed to me her impact on their lives. I want to convey my thanks to all of you for your support, but also to those of you that have shared with me your personal relationships and experiences with my mom; you all have shown me a part of her life that I had only glimpsed over the years.

Despite what I could only describe as her being “difficult” at times, she was the best mother. She was also a doting grandmother, and her three grandchildren, who brought immense joy to her life, will miss her dearly.

She fought a courageous battle against a challenging medical condition, and even in her struggle, she continued to inspire us with her strength and resilience. At one point, a doctor expressed to me her surprise that she had stayed with us for this long, given her condition; I said, “If you knew my Mom, you wouldn’t be surprised.”

Your support throughout this journey has meant more than words can express. Your contributions, your messages of encouragement, and your presence in her life have made a difference and we are profoundly grateful for your kindness and generosity.

Thank you for being a part of my mother’s journey and for standing by us in both times of hope and moments of sorrow. We are forever grateful for the community that has rallied around us.

With heartfelt appreciation, Jonathan Peverall and family”
