According to her sister who has set up a gofundme, Rachael Lillis, best known for the 4Kids dub of Pokemon as the voice of Misty, Jessie and Jigglypuff, is currently in a nursing home suffering from cancer that has spread to her spine from her breast. Definitely sad to hear. www.gofundme.com/f/help-my-sister-rachael-with-medical-needs |

That really sucks to hear, especially since judging by her earliest known role being in 1997 she's probably not really even all that old. Glad to see she's passed the goal but the description on what the money's for makes it sound like it's more about making her comfortable than really being able to do much to help.

Well that sucks for her and her family. Hope she gets to go home sooner rather than later so she can be as comfortable as possible.

Only 46. Horrible.
I only watched the first season or two of the show but she and Eric as Team Rocket made it for me.

Yeah, this hurts. Not just because of the age or the reason but because yeah, she had a big part of my childhood. The Pokemon anime was a gateway to a lot of people, whether to anime or the games or whatever and for what you can say about the 4Kids dub, it was pretty much one of the most influential ever and Misty and Jesse were two big parts of it.
Oh, and as I always say with these things, now and forever; F*** Cancer

This one hurts, she like many others was a major part of my childhood and was brilliant in the Pokemon anime. Her legacy will live on forever.

Awful news. RIP Rachael.  Her Pokemon roles were what she was best known for, but I really liked her as Mystina in Valkyrie Profile too. |

Absolutely blows my mind that Jesse and Misty are from the same voice actress. RIP to a very talented talent
