by at .

Yvette Wilson, an actress best known for portraying Andell Wilkerson alongside Brandy over the course of five seasons on Moesha, has passed away from cervical cancer. She was 48.

From The Parkers

Wilson went on to play the same role on The Parkers, a spinoff of Moesha, and also appeared on HBO's Def Comedy Jam. Her cancer had reached Stage 4 when she finally succumbed yesterday.

Tweeted former co-star Shar Jackson in response to the news: "F*ck Cancer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 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." 

Our thoughts go out to Wilson's family and loved ones.
