The actress’s death was confirmed today after people close to Wersching shared an online funding campaign on social media to support her family.
Wersching “was a reserved person by nature and the diagnosis made her even more reserved. She wanted to protect her children, she wanted to get better so she could continue working, and honestly, she didn’t want to talk about it. She wanted to live her life her way and be with her family,” reads the description on the GoFundme page.
The executive producer of “The Vampire Diaries” series, Julie Plec – in which Wersching had a role – shared the campaign on Twitter and mourned the actress’ death: “Rest in peace Annie, you were a wonderful soul “,he wrote.
