Comedian and gospel singer Lulu Roman has died. She was 78.
The Dallas, Texas-born star — whose real name is Bertha Louise Hable — died on Wednesday in Bellingham, Washington, her son Damon Roman told The Hollywood Reporter.
Roman moved to Washington seven months ago in order to spend more time with her son. A cause of death has yet to be determined, according to THR.
The comedian was best known for her role in the classic variety show Hee Haw, which ran from June 1969 to June 1993. Throughout her time on the show, she transitioned into a gospel singer, releasing over a dozen albums, performing various concerts, and recording music alongside Dolly Parton.
