To paraphrase Charlene Darling, this’n makes us cry.

The family of Maggie Peterson Mancuso, who played Charlene Darling on “The Andy Griffith Show,” announced on Monday that the actress and singer died on Sunday, May 15.

The news was posted on the Andy Griffith Show Museum Facebook and on Mancuso’s Facebook page on Monday.

A family member wrote on Mancuso’s page that she “passed peacefully in her sleep with her family present.

I just watch him yesterday on Gunsmoke lol. He was on that show a few times I think and always a bad guy. He will always be Uncle Jesse to me

Andy did some singing in his day too. So did Gomer.
