Fans of The Simpsons were in for a surprise when a longtime character was killed off after 35 seasons. During this week's episode, First Church Organist Alice Glick (voiced by Cloris Leachman and Tress MacNeille) died during a sermon. She was honored in a memorial service by Springfield Elementary before it was revealed that she left her estate to fund the school's new music program. Alice, who has appeared on the show for 35 seasons, previously appeared to die after being attacked by a rogue Robopet.
