Marilyn Herr, a cast member on the long-running Syracuse children’s TV show “Magic Toy Shop,” has died. She was 92.
Herr’s daughter, Corky Herr, announced Sunday on the “Magic Toy Shop” Facebook page that her mother died on Saturday, Dec. 26. A cause of death was not announced, though Corky said her mother’s health had been declining in recent months and family were only able to visit a couple of times in the fall because of Covid-related lockdowns at nursing homes earlier this year.
