so sad she was a massive part of alot of our childhoods

[My_Legs_Hurt]

46 is way too young to go. Cancer sucks. RIP

Edit: Okay, she was 55. Still too young.

I met her once at Fan Expo. She was so warm, kind, and such a delight to talk to. Everything I heard about her from fans was true, and I felt silly for being so nervous before I went up to talk to her. She'll be greatly missed by her fans, family, and friends! 🕊

It really won't be the same without Rachel.

I remember coming home Monday afternoon, and a friend told me Rachel had died.

I never felt so heartbroken because Rachel was one of the actors I came to really enjoy, and fell in love with the characters she performed.

My most heartfelt sympathies, condolences, thoughts, and prayers go to Rachel's family, friends, and her fans.

Rachel...you will be truly missed by all.

A heartbroken 40-year old fan of Pokemon.

No one can portray Misty, Jessie, and Jigglypuff than Rachel did. She was just amazing and will be truly missed. I'm planning to watch the original series with her in it. Love you forever, Rachel Lillis. Thank you for being a huge part of so many childhoods including mine. The work that you have done will always live on.

[chrisbreezy-ryanbarbosa]

I'm heartbroken. Haven't watched pokemon in like 10 years but she had the nicest sounding voice. In real life she was quite a beauty and talent also. RIP miss! Gone too soon!

[KyloRen]

R.I.P. Misty, Violet, Maylene, Jessie, Ursula, and Lucy. May the Peace be with u Rachael Lillis. Always.

[DawnHibiki]

I adored Rachael Lillis so much as both Misty and Jessie. She's one of the reasons why I grew up
watching Pokemon as a kid. It's so devastating to hear that she's passed away literally so young.

Life is so unfair. R.I.P Rachael Lillis

[Extroverted.]

First we lost meowths voice actor, and now jessies. This is so upsetting, rest in peace.

[Soooooooooooonicable]

Much like the rest of the original English cast of Pokémon, her voice is a hotline straight to my childhood. RIP

[MarioSonicDKPokeFAN]

Definitely hit me in a way yesterday. To think of all the years we could've had the OG Voice Actors throughout Ash's journey to the very end, if they didn't change Dub companies. RIP Rachael Lillis. 🙏🏾 I hate Cancer!

[Darkman]

As much as I look back to fond memories, I look back to the song “Misty’s Song”, as I’ve recently heard of the tragic death of Rachael Lillis, who voiced Misty and Jessie. I’ve met Veronica Taylor in Houston on November 5th, 2023. I told Veronica on Instagram, as I heard it yesterday, to accept my thoughts and extend the same to Rachael’s family for me, having been a fan of Rachael’s for that long, too.

Rachael Lillis? May your spirit watch over us as you carry on in the “incredible world of Pokémon”. Rachael? Say hello to my mother and my father up there.

I was watching the episode where Misty and Jessie battled each other at the princess festival, we missed you Rachael Lillis😢 R.I.P

[killer]

Words can't describe how heartbroken i am of her passing!! Misty in the original Pokemon Show was one of my earliest crushes growing up, and a few years ago, i had the privilege of meeting her at a convention in my town. She was super nice to me, and she signed my 1st Edition Jigglypuff card, which I still have to this very day!! I will forever cherich that card, and she will greatly be missed!! RIP

[ksmart]

May the actor rest in peace.... 🙏🏾

I used to grow up watching this from Kanto season to Sinnoh season

[Dorox]

R.I.P. Rachael Lillis you were the reason why Jessie and Misty became my favorite characters in Pokémon.
