The Tragic Death Of Scrubs Star Markie Post

Post's death resulted in an outpouring of social media love. A heartbroken Bush took to Instagram to remember her on-screen mom, writing, "Markie Post was a TV icon. Bold. Funny. Always in on the joke, usually before the rest of the room. Always holding a deeper perspective on a character's reality than what was on the page."

"When I lived in a box that made it deeply difficult to be a woman," Bush continued, "Markie came in with arms to envelop me and eyes that fired both kindness and lightning storms into the room as she held me, and likewise called other women into her safe space. She did it all with a smile and a laugh, and with more wisdom than most of us could ever hope to learn or muster."

Hilarie Burton Morgan, who appeared in Lifetime's "Christmas on the Bayou" alongside Post, remembered her on Instagram, writing, "Devastated just isn't a strong enough word. To know Markie Post was to fall head over heels in love with her." 

On Twitter, Ed Asner wrote, "I am devastated to hear of the passing of my friend Markie Post. She was a true talent. We did Hearts Afire together and to work with her and John was a gift. F&@k Cancer!" Meanwhile, "Night Court" star John Larroquette shared a photo of Post and wrote, "Her grace, her warmth, her intelligence, her compassion, her optimism, her empathy, her humility, her love and devotion to her family. And her flawless comic timing, her beauty, her laugh and more.."

Elsewhere, actress Mary McCormack, who appeared in the TV series "The Kids Are Alright" with Post, shared on Twitter, "This breaks my heart. Markie was just the best. An incredible scene partner and friend. I feel so lucky to have had our time together. I will miss her very much."
