Schilling had revealed in March that her condition was terminal and that her oncology team could do no more, after experiencing worsening symptoms including severe headaches and numbness.
She stepped away from the show earlier this year after a decade, choosing to focus on her health and family, and is remembered by her husband as a devoted mother, partner and enduring source of courage and compassion.
