Marnie Schulenburg has passed away at the age of 37 just days before her birthday.
The American actress, who is best known for her role in the CBS soap opera ‘As the World Turns’, reportedly died at a Bloomfield, New Jersey, hospital on Tuesday.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress’s representative has confirmed that Schulenburg died of stage-four metastatic breast cancer.
The heartbreaking news comes shortly after the mother of a two-year-old girl posted a heartfelt message as she celebrated Mother’s Day with her daughter.
“It wasn’t a guarantee that I was going to be home this Mother’s Day. I got released late Friday night but had to be sent home with an oxygen machine,” Schulenburg wrote on May 8.
“It’s not my ideal to be a 38 year old Mom who needs an oxygen tank to survive right now. I want to be strong and beautiful for her. I want to show her how to move throughout this world with compassion, strength, vivacity, humor and joy like my Mother showed me.
“I know that me being here for her is the best gift I can give her but right now it feels like settling since she’s getting a half-life version of myself.”
In her tear-jerking post, Schulenburg went on to pay a tribute to her mother and recall the time she found out she had cancer back in 2020.
“So here’s to remembering that nothing is permanent. To soaking up the imperfections and that the best thing you can do for your child is make them feel loved, safe and supported just like my mother did for me. Screw the oxygen mask, just remember how to breathe,” she expressed.
