Carol Ann Susi, more recently known for her role of Mrs. Wolwitz (Howard's mother) in 'The Big Bang Theory', recently passed away at the age of 62. The actress, who was known for her comedic spirit, lost her battle with cancer.

The actress who plays the mother of Simon Helberg's character, Howard in the show reportedly battled a very aggressive type of cancer which caused her death last Tuesday in Los Angeles according to her agent Pam Ellis-Evenas.

Many of Susi's friends in Hollywood have shared their condolences and sympathy for the family of the veteran actress.

"The Big Bang Theory family has lost a beloved member today with the passing of Carol Ann Susi, who hilariously and memorably voiced the role of Mrs. Wolowitz," CBS and executive producers Chuck Lorre, Steven Molaro and Bill Prady said in a joint statement.

"Unseen by viewers, the Mrs. Wolowitz character became a bit of a mystery throughout the show's eight seasons. What was not a mystery, however, was Carol Ann's immense talent and comedic timing, which were on display during each unforgettable appearance. In addition to her talent, Carol Ann was a constant source of joy and kindness to all. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with her family during this time, and we will miss her greatly," the statement added.

Even though the actress was mostly known for her distinct Brooklyn accent, and not her appearance on the camera, she will surely be remembered in the thoughts of all those who've had pleasure of working with her.

It's been reported that the actress' talent was discovered sometime in the '70s by Universal Studios.

Besides 'The Big Bang Theory', Susi also appeared in several other shows on ABC. She was cast as Kolchak's secretary, Monique Marmelstein, in the 'The Night Stalker'. The late actress also had several TV guest appearances, including 'Cheers', 'Doogie Howser, M.D.', 'Mad About You', 'Just Shoot Me', 'Seinfeld' and 'Six Feet Under'.
