Estelle Harris, famous for her roles on "Seinfeld" and in the "Toy Story" franchise, died of natural causes Saturday evening.

Estelle's son, Glen Harris, who held her as she passed, said in a statement to Deadline that she died at 6:25 in Palm Desert, California. She would have turned 94 on April 4.

"Her kindness, passion, sensitivity, humor, empathy, and love were practically unrivaled, and she will be terribly missed by all those who knew her," Glen said.

Harris' career spanned years in Hollywood. She was perhaps best known for her memorable role as Estelle Costanza, George's overbearing mother on the '90s sitcom, "Seinfeld."

She is survived by her three children, her grandsons, and great-grandson.
