The Simpsons will pay tribute to Marcia Wallace, who played cynical schoolteacher Edna Krabappel on the long-running series, this Sunday. Wallace, also known for playing randy receptionist Carol Kester  on the original Bob Newhart Show, died at age 70 last week.

The episode embodies The Simpsons' understated combination of humor and heart, and won Wallace an Emmy Award in 1992.

At 8pm, a new Simpsons episode, “4 Regrettings and a Funeral,” will end with a tribute card from the producers honoring Wallace.

“I was tremendously saddened to learn this morning of the passing of the brilliant and gracious Marcia Wallace,” producer Al Jean said in a statement earlier this week. “She was beloved by all at The Simpsons and we intend to retire her irreplaceable character.”
