Ray Romano who played Roberts’ on-screen son which is the titular character of “Everybody Loves Raymond” said in a statement;
“Doris Roberts had an energy and a spirit that amazed me. She never stopped. Whether working professionally or with her many charities, or just nurturing and mentoring a young, green comic trying to make it as an actor, she did it all with such a grand love for life and people and I will miss her dearly.”
Besides her son, Roberts is survived by her daughter-in-law, Jane and three grandchildren, Kelsey, Andrew and Devon Cannata.
