 Wendy and her mother, Shirley, were known to be very attached. They would share every little detail and behave girly and ridiculously giggly to the end. Her mother died peacefully and surrounded by love without suffering any problems. 

The TV host remembered her mother with, "She is everywhere, the first thing I think about in the morning, the last thing I think of when I go to sleep."

Williams had also previously taken a three-week break from the show when she was diagnosed with Graves disease. It was a condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid. 

In her moment of grief, she's accompanied by her son Kevin Hunter Jr. Apparently, her son has never experienced a family death, so she wishes to be a support system for her little one.
