Moesha Star-Yvette Wilson, known to many as Andell Wilkerson from the popular sitcom ‘Moesha’ and ‘The Parkers’ has lost her battle with cancer – she had stage 4 cervical cancer. In mid May, a former cancer survivor Jeffrey Pittle started the Yvette Willson Fund to help the ailing actress cover her mounting medical bills. Sadly, Yvette’s co-star Shar Jackson tweeted her passing yesterday, she was 48.
“Everyone plz send prayer and light to my sister and best friend Yvette Wilson…..

Oh god….. My heart is soooo unbelievably broken ….
I wanna thank all my tweeties for their prayers but god has chosen to take my sister Yvette home.. …”
Other celebrities have began tweeting their condolences including actress Gabrielle Union who tweeted, “#RIPYVETTEWILSON Great actress from “Moesha” & “The Parkers” She was truly beautiful inside & out. You will be missed. Love & Light”
May she rest in peace.
