Wilson had been suffering for some time with stage 4 cervical cancer and in recent years had battled kidney failure and undergone kidney transplants.
As a result, the funny lady has been under heavy financial strain, enough so that Pittle launched a website on GiveForward.com on Wilson's behalf, which raised more than $13,000 in donations to help cover the costs of her treatment.
"I met Yvette through work, and her spark of creativity was unmatched," added Pittle, who at one time also had stage 4. "Our experiences with cancers gave us a special bond, and I am proud to have been able to lend her support emotionally, as well as financially through the fundraiser I held. I only wish I could have done more."
No word yet on funeral plans.
