Season 1 Peter Benton's Mother

Lived with Peter's sister Jackie and her family.  She had previously had a heart-attack and that is why she is living with them.  Peter was suppose to be watching after her one night, while Jackie and her husband Walt were out.  Peter had worked too many hours the day and night before, so he was too tired to keep a watchful eye on his mother.  She ended up falling and breaking her hip, which sent her to the ER.  Jeanie Boulet was hired to watch after her.  She ended up going to a nursing home, where she died shortly afterwards with another heart-attack.
