Shell Kepler, who played nurse Amy Vining on "General Hospital" for more than 20 years, died yesterday in Portland, Ore. Paging Dr. Quartermaine!
According to the Medical Examiner's office, Kepler died of renal failure.
After her stint on "General Hospital" ended, Kepler moved to Portland and got involved in charity fundraising.
IMDb says she was 46, the M.E. says she was 49.

136. I enjoyed watching Ms.Kepler, on GH, and my condolences, to her family! The individual, who has made crast comments, in reference to her, is disgusting! I think those comments should be deleted, for it is bad publicity! No matter which way a person dies, no jokes should ever be tolerated! How would this individual feel, if someone in his/her family, or a loved one passed, from Renal failure? Would they welcome the jokes then?
