The sad news was shared by her friend Laurie Jacobson via Facebook
It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of our friend Lisa Loring. Four days ago she suffered a massive stroke caused by smoking and high blood pressure. Her life was kept on three days. Yesterday, the family made the difficult decision to take her off the machine, and Lisa passed away last night. She will forever be woven into the tapestry of pop culture and in our hearts as Wednesday Addams.
Lisa Loring was born in the Marshall Islands. Her parents served in the navy. She lived in Hawaii and then moved to Los Angeles with her mother. She got her first modeling job when she was three. After The Addams Family , she played mainly in series. In the 1980s, she acted in horror films such as Blood Frenzy , Iced and Savage Harbor .

It didn’t bother Loring that she was mostly associated with her role as Wednesday, appearing at conventions and fan events over the years. Jenna Ortega, or Wednesday from the new Netflix production, referred to the character she created many times with respect. It’s also no secret that the viral “Wednesday Dance” was a wink at the 1960s production.
Lisa Loring passed away on January 28, 2023, orphaning daughters Marianne and Vanessa. At the time of her death, the actress was 64 years old.
