Kelley Mack, known for her role as “Addy” in “The Walking Dead,” has died.
She was just 33-years-old.
Mack’s family shared the news on her Instagram account Wednesday.
“It is with indelible sadness that we are announcing the passing of our dear Kelley,” the statement read. “Such a bright, fervent light has transitioned to the beyond, where we all eventually must go. Kelley passed peacefully on Saturday evening with her loving mother Kristen and steadfast aunt Karen present. Kelley has already come to many of her loved ones in the form of various butterflies. She will be missed by so many to depths that words cannot express.”
The statement noted that her celebration of life will be held in Ohio on Aug. 16.
“She would want you all to know how much she loves you,” it read. “And as her sister, I want you all to know how brave that tough SOB was, especially when she decided to make the leap to be reunited with God. I’m so (expletive) proud of her.”
According to Parade, Mack announced in January that she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Variety reported that her family said that cancer was glioma of the central nervous system.
Her character of “Addy” appeared in Season 9 of “The Walking Dead.” She also played “Penelope Jacobs” in Season 8 of “Chicago Med,” and on Fox’s “9-1-1.”
