Former Night Court star Marsha Warfield wrote on Facebook, in response to Post's death of cancer at age 70, that she had no idea about her former co-star's illness. "I'm not surprised she didn't let on what she was going through, she wouldn't have wanted us to worry," Warfield wrote. "She has been, and will be, described as perky, bubbly, sweet, etc. And she was. But, she was also real, caring and kind. I never heard a cross word from, to, or about her." John Larroquette tweeted of his former Night Court colleague: "Her grace, her warmth, her intelligence, her compassion, her optimism, her empathy, her humility, her love and devotion to her family. And her flawless comic timing, her beauty, her laugh and more...We all wish she could have stayed longer but we thank the cosmos for blessing us and enriching the world with her for as long as it did." One of Post's final roles was on ABC's The Kids Are Alright in 2018 and 2019. "This breaks my heart. Markie was just the best," tweeted The Kids Are Alright star Mary McCormack. "An incredible scene partner and friend. I feel so lucky to have had our time together. I will miss her very much."
