Stephen Full, Wersching’s spouse, told CNN: “There is a yawning chasm across which this family must now pass today. But she gave us the means to meet the challenge.”

“She was able to discover awe in even the most ordinary of experiences. She could have danced without the music. Adventure, she told us, must be sought. Put your detective skills to use and look for them. There are signs of it all everywhere. We’ll get there,” she promised.

Tess’s voice in “The Last of Us” computer video game was likewise supplied by Wersching. Creator of the video game adaptation “The Last of Us” (and the forthcoming HBO Max series) Neil Druckmann tweeted about Wesching’s death.
