Fabares was married to Mike Farrell for decades and became stepmother to his two children from his previous marriage. Her family said she will be remembered not only for her remarkable career but for her courage, loyalty, generosity, and beautiful spirit. Shelley Fabares leaves behind a legacy that spans generations of television and film. Rest in peace, Shelley.
