Armelia McQueen’s death was confirmed by her friend, Dorian Hannaway, on Facebook.

“My dear friend Armelia crossed over yesterday. She leaves us cherishing her memory as she was one of the greatest friends you could ever have. The only thing bigger than her beautiful soul was her extraordinary talent. She gave us such joy in her many turns on the Broadway stage as well as her film and TV roles. She was brilliant in Ain’t Misbehavin’ and so many other shows.”

Hannaway continued:

“But I will remember her as my girlfriend whose dazzling smile and crazy sense of humor gave me so much joy. All of us who are lucky enough to call her our friend will be sustained by the many memories of the fun we all had together.
My heart is sad this day; but I know I’ll see my friend at the next party. Save me a seat, Queenie. I’m saving my love for YOU!”

She was 68-years-old.

Armelia McQueen was a part of the original Off Broadway cast of Ain’t Misbehavin’ in 1978.
