Barbara Billingsley, who wore a classy pearl necklace and dispensed pearls of wisdom as America's quintessential mom on "Leave it to Beaver," has died at age 94, a family spokeswoman said Saturday.
The actress passed away at 2 a.m. (5 a.m. ET) Saturday at her home in Santa Monica, California, after a long illness, spokeswoman Judy Twersky said. A private memorial is being planned.
"America's favorite mother is now gone. I feel very fortunate to have been her 'son,'" actor Tony Dow, who played Wally Cleaver, said. "We were wonderful friends and I will miss her very much. My deepest sympathies to her sons, Glenn and Drew, and her entire family."

I loved her in Airplane as the Jive talking passenger, and I remember her from her role as June Cleaver on "Leave it to Beaver". I always thought she was such a beautiful actress and a fashion plate for the 1950s.

Rest in peace, Mrs. Billingsley.
 
I grew up watching Momma Cleaver. Pearls will be worn tomorrow in remembrance.

My thoughts are with her family.
 
RIP, Mrs. Cleaver, you jive-talkin' mom, you.

She really was the quintessential middle American mother, and I grew up watching her.
