Edna Krabappel is a cartoon character from the animated television series The Simpsons, who was voiced by Marcia Wallace until her death in 2013. She is the teacher of Bart Simpson's 4th grade class at Springfield Elementary School, and Ned Flanders's wife in later seasons. Krabappel was the only character that Wallace voiced on a regular basis. Following Wallace's death, the show's producers announced their intention to retire the character. Episodes featuring Edna since then have been small no-dialogue cameos, until the epilogue of the 25th season episode "The Man Who Grew Too Much".
