Whenever somebody problematic or deeply flawed dies, I can't help but think of this scene from The Sopranos

The context is that Tony's mother Livia (played so adeptly by Nancy Marchand, who sadly had also passed) has just died and his sister Janice has organized a memorial for her.

For people who watched the show, they would know that Livia was a miserable, misanthropic and manipulative woman who caused all sorts of problems for everyone.

Leading up to the scene, everyone is struggling to find something good to say about Livia.

Finally, Tony's wife Carmela steps in and cuts to the chase: Livia was so deeply flawed person, even she didn't think she would be missed.
