The world lost an icon on Friday with the passing of actress Catherine O’Hara. She starred in a multitude of roles, ranging from the mom in Home Alone to a folk singer in A Mighty Wind to an actress who lost everything in Schitt’s Creek. O’Hara has always been wildly talented comedian, starring alongside ‌and keeping stride with some of the best in the game throughout her career.

The ‌actress passed on January 30 at the ‌age of 71, leaving behind her husband, Bo Welch, and sons Matthew and Luke.

One of O’Hara’s funniest role was that of matriarch Moira Rose on the comedy series Schitt’s Creek, so ​we’ve rounded up some of her absolute best ‌moments as Moira.

Moira Rose ⁠for Herb Ertlinger Fruit Wine: Terrible fruit wine and hilarious outtakes. The only thing harder to do than ‌finish a glass of the wine is to get the name right. Herb Irvling-ger. Burt Herngeif. Irv Herm-linger. Bing Liveheinger. Live Link. Burt Herkern.

Bébé: I ‌can no longer say baby the way it’s supposed to be pronounced.

Fold in the cheese: It can’t possibly that hard to follow the recipe.

Tourism video: The Roses weren’t happy to have to ‌move to Schitt’s ​Creek, but ‌with advertising like this, it will be hard to keep people out.

The wigs: The decision to have all the wigs have name was pure genius, and never failed to ‌be utterly hilarious.

Oh Danny Boy: Any time Moira sang was a 10/10, but her funeral performance of “Oh Danny Boy” was next level.

Alexis’ graduation: Much like ​the show as a whole, there were times where Moira was funny, but also times that she made you cry. Such was the case at Alexis’ high school graduation. I can’t watch this without ⁠tearing up immediately.

David’s wedding: The outfit was unbelievable, but the ​wedding was so wonderful.
