Jeanne Bice, made famous for her Quacker Factory show on QVC, which landed her on "The Soup" many times and also as a running sketch on "MadTV," passed away Friday (June 10) at the age of 71. Fellow QVC-er Jacque Gonzales tweets "With a broken heart I pass on the news that Jeanne Bice has passed away. I will love her forever - she was a true friend. My prayers..." The Quacker Factory site posted a lovely tribute: alaia She loved QVC. Everything about it. She loved the people: the executives who ran it, and the production people who worked so hard to make every show perfect. She loved the famous stars who appeared there, and had to pinch herself when others considered her one. She loved the hosts of her shows, her buyers and all the people who worked with her and for her to make Quacker Factory clothes a reality. But most of all-above everything else-Jeanne alaia loved the Quackers. 'They come as customers, they stay as friends,' she said over and over. Because that was how she felt. 'I owe everything I have to these women who believe in me.' Jeanne loved the stories they told her. On the cruises, at live-audience shows, or on phone calls during the shows. She would sit and listen. She could relate to them. She knew the power of friends to help each other, support each other. It never mattered who you were. Rich, famous, powerful or not-it didn't matter. Successful or struggling, size 4 or 44-it never mattered. She loved who you were inside. She had time for everyone. Here's a great clip of Jeanne Bice on the Quacker Factory. Our condolences to her family, friends and fans. The site says if you'd like to make a memorial in Jeanne's name, www.feedthechildren.org alaia was her favorite charity. source TAGGED: death infomercial alaia celebrities joel mchale / community

_deatheater 13th-Jun-2011 02:01 pm (UTC) My mom and I used to watch her on QVC. It was my favorite segment. It's a shame, so was so sweet and always wanted you to love one another. My heart broke when I heard she had cancer. RIP Jeanne

blckcelebrtion 13th-Jun-2011 07:29 pm (UTC) I'm at the library, could someone explain the clip to me please? I'd sincerely appreciate it. It also seems to me that the women who wear Quacker Factory also shop at the Cracker alaia Barrel gift shop y/y?
