Supernatural actress Carrie Anne Fleming has sadly passed away.
According to a post made by her co-star Jim Beaver on Facebook, the actress who played Bobby Singer’s wife Karen has tragically lost her battle with cancer. He wrote in the heartbreaking note that he’d lost a second “soul mate” after the death of his wife, Cecily Adams, in 2004:
“To find a soul mate once in life is something of a miracle. To find one twice is almost unimaginable. To love and be loved is a pearl above price, but such pearls do come more than once or twice to the lucky. But to find oneself paired with someone who not only loves and is loved, but who seems by magic or the grace of the gods to understand you, to want what you are, to want you to be what you are, who GETS you and never feels the need to have you defend who you are, and about whom you feel the same — how many of us can say that spark of divinity has alighted on us once, much less twice? I can … Few who know me do not know about my first, my Cecily, my first and greatest love, the mother of my child, and how Cecily’s young death came near to destroying me. Far fewer know that I found something akin to that again some years after Cecily’s death.”
Devastating…
Continuing, Jim revealed he fell in love with Carrie on the set of the series, where they played lovers alongside Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki:
“Carrie Anne Fleming was cast as my wife on Supernatural in my fifth season on the show. I fell for her hard, and I did it mere seconds after meeting her. To my joy and shock, it seems the same thing happened to her. We “met cute,” in Hollywood speak.”

The actor went on to explain how long-distance kept him and Carrie apart for years, but he never doubted his love for her, though it only ever developed as a friendship before her death:
“As it was, we just loved each other as best we could. There were others, for both of us, but always there was the bond we had started with. Had certain laws and maps been different, I’m not sure I would have been able to love anyone else. She got me like only one other person really, truly ever has. Except for my love for her, I’m not sure if I would have been good for her. But she was terribly good for me.”
Wrapping up, he revealed Carrie died last week after a cancer battle, just like his late wife:
“I lost Cecily to cancer in 2004. Thursday, I lost Carrie to the same disease. I never thought my heart could break so badly more than once. But it has. But, oh, the two torches I carry — what bright, bright light they shed.”
So, so heartbreaking. She was only 51 years old.
Per the post, Carrie is survived by her daughter, Madalyn Rose. A service for her will be announced later on. You can read the full post for yourself (below):
