She also appeared on panel shows and in daytime soap operas. Questel appeared on Broadway four times:   Questel was married twice: to Leo Balkin (May 25, 1906 – December 30, 1985) on December 22, 1930, from whom she was divorced prior to 1950; and to Jack E. Shelby (April 28, 1907 – June 15, 1996) on November 19, 1970; they remained married at his death. She had two sons, Robert Balkin (August 7, 1933 – May 1, 1969) and Richard (born June 28, 1938), who survived her. Questel was a Democrat who supported Adlai Stevenson's campaign during the 1952 presidential election. Questel died from complications related to Alzheimer's disease at the age of 89 in her Manhattan apartment. She was buried in New Montefiore Cemetery in West Babylon, New York.
