Wersching was diagnosed with cancer in 2020, by deadline. It was not made clear what type of cancer it was. When asked for comment, her rep said he had “nothing more to share” beyond what Deadline had already said.
The actress’s husband, Stephen Full, told –
“There is a hollow hole in the soul of this family today. But she left us the tools to fill it. She found wonder in the simplest of times. She didn’t need music to dance. She taught us not to wait for adventure to find you. ‘Go and search. It is everywhere.’ And we will find it.’
Full’s statement continued:
“As I drove our boys, the true loves of her life, down the winding driveway and street, she shouted BYE! until we were out of earshot and in the world. I can still hear it ringing. Bye, my buddy. ‘I love you, little family…’”
Wersching, who grew up in St. Louis and is a mother of three, got her start in movies and TV shows like Bruce Almighty, Star Trek: Enterprise, Charmed, and Supernatural. She eventually landed a recurring role as Renee Walker on the TV show 24.
