The group, which earned three gold records, also performed on several late-night talk shows and had their own television special in 1968
Mrs. Cowsill moved to Arizona from California three years ago.
Survivors include her husband, William "Bud"; a daughter, Susan; six sons, William, Richard, Robert, Paul, Barry and John; her mother; five sisters; three brothers; and 11 grandchildren.
