A familiar voice on "The Big Bang Theory" has been silenced.

Carol Ann Susi, the voice of Howard Wolowicz's unseen and overbearing mother, died at the age of 62 after battling an aggressive form of cancer.

CBS and "Big Bang Theory" executive producers Chuck Lorre, Steven Molaro and Bill Prady issued a joint statement that read, "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."

Before "Big Bang Theory", Susi made guest appearances on such shows as "Married...With Children", "ER", "Seinfeld" and "Six Feet Under".
