Actor Annie Wersching, best known for playing FBI agent Renee Walker in the series 24, died of cancer early Sunday morning. She was 45.

Wersching’s husband, Stephen Full, said in a statement to CNN: “There is a cavernous hole in the soul of this family today. But she left us the tools to fill it. She found wonder in the simplest moment. She didn’t require music to dance. She taught us not to wait for adventure to find you. ‘Go find it. It’s everywhere.’ And find it we shall."
