The 92-year-old reportedly died on March 6 in the Lillian Booth Actor's Home.
In her 1966-70 role as Alice Kramden, MacRae portrayed the sharp-tongued wife of bus driver Ralph Kramden, played by Jackie Gleason.
She went on to host "The Sheila MacRae Show" and also appeared in "Parenthood" and "The Love Boat."
Among those reacting to the loss of such a star was her second husband and producer of "The Jackie Gleason Hour," Ronald Wayne.

Fellow actress and family friend, Carole Mallory described MacRae as spending her final years at the Lillian Booth Actor's Home in Englewood where she "serenaded the other patients with songs from 'Oklahoma,'" according to an article with the Huffington Post.
MacRae was born in Kilburn England on Sept. 24, 1921 but through the majority of her life she insisted that she was born in 1924, according to family.
It wasn't until recently that she discovered her birth records in the U.K., which confirmed the 1921 date.
When her family wished her a happy 90th birthday in 2011, the witty actress replied, "I am only ninety in London!"
MacRae is survived by her two children, Heather and Gar, her grandchildren, Allison Mullavey; Zak, Josh, Jeremy, Caitlin, and Michael MacRae; and two great-grandchildren, Niko and Jotaro.
