Nicki Aycox, a seasoned actress best known for playing Meg Masters on Supernatural starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles in 2006 and 2008, died on November 16, according to her sister-in-law Susan Raab Ceklosky on Facebook.
She was 47 years old.
Susan said in her November 17 post, “My beautiful, clever, strong, extremely talented, and beloved sister-in-law, Nicki Aycox Raab, passed away yesterday with my brother, Matt Raab, by her side.”
She continued, saying:
“In California, Nicki and Matt enjoyed a lovely life together. She was a warrior, and everyone who knew her adored her.”

In March 2021, Aycox confirmed that she had been diagnosed with leukemia.
“Hi all! Sorry 4 time away,” she wrote on Instagram in March 2021.
“I can’t believe my last 3 months. But, it makes sense now. I became very ill thinking I had covid in Jan and Feb. well things came to a head. I ended up in a hospital diagnosed with [leukemia].”
During this trying moment, the actress continued:
“I want everyone to know I’m doing incredibly well and fighting my way thru chemo.
“I will update with a better pic of myself, and talk about staying positive thru the worst of times. take care of yourself all! I’ll be back better, stronger, and wiser!”
The actress continued to provide updates on her struggle until March 2022, informing fans and followers, for example, that she was getting chemotherapy again this spring.
Nicki’s last Instagram post came in March of this year. It said:
“#alwayskeepfighting STOP! DO NOT attempt to sing 80’s music after taking high doses of chemo will cause memory loss.
