I would run into her at the supermarket and she would trash everyone we ever knew, Struthers recalled.
We would stand in the aisle and shed say, What do you think about so-and-so?
Struthers jokingly added, People in the store were like, Whats going on in aisle five?

Those supermarket smack-talking sessions have gone on to become some of Struthers favorite memories of Arthur.
I loved how filthy she was, she said.
She was a big deal.
“A plate was set in the middle and it was cookies, I think,” Struthers recalled.
You don’t need a cookie.’
