Carol Ann Susi best known as the voice of Howard Wolowitz’s unseen mother on The Big Bang Theory, has died after a short battle with an aggressive cancer, her rep confirmed Tuesday.

In addition to the CBS sitcom, the Brooklyn, N.Y., native appeared on countless TV shows during her 40-year career, including Grey’s Anatomy, Ugly Betty, That ’70s Show, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Just Shoot Me and Seinfeld.

Warner Bros. TV, CBS and the show’s executive producers — Chuck Lorre, Steven Molaro and Bill Prady — have released the following statement:

“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. 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.”

2. Oh no! We will miss her alot.

I had noticed she had done less and less, but then there was a surge in lines when Stuart moved in with her.

My condolences to her family and cbs family.

8. Thank you.

Both the articles I read didn't show her picture, and I always wondered what she looked like. Sad news

9. On Seinfeld she played the woman George was dating from the unemployment office. It was the episode

where Elaine was dating Keith Hernandez.

7. Kikcing for visibility...nt

10. One of the great unseen characters on television.

I think having anyone else do that role would be a great disservice to the character.

13. Agreed. I think a recast would be a bad idea. I also don't think they can ignore her absence

and simply make reference to her.

Having the character die seems to be the right way to go, given Carol Ann's tragic passing. It could lead to some interesting character development for Howard.

12. Wow, I just scrolled through her filmography on IMDB

Astounding array of shows and movies she's been in. I totally recognize her, but never put the face and the voice together.
