Her loved ones also confirmed her death directly through her own social media on Tuesday, Aug. 5.

A single photo of the actress accompanied the post.
Both the Instagram post and her obituary stated that Mack “passed [away] peacefully,” surrounded by family.

Additionally, she was cast as “Penelope Jacobs” in season 8 of Chicago Med and on FOX’s 9-1-1. She also held roles in movies like “Alice” in Broadcast Signal Intrusion and “Wilda” in the recently released Delicate Arch.
She also did commercial work with Dr. Pepper, Ross stores, Dairy Queen and Chick-fil-a. Mack is currently featured in a Rakuten commercial with her mom, Kristen.
Another way she showcased her talent was by doing voice-over work, and previously recorded for the Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse as the voice match for Hailee Steinfeld’s character, Gwen Stacy.
Mack graduated from Hinsdale Central High School in 2010 and, in 2014, she earned a bachelor’s degree in cinematography from Dodge College of Film at Chapman University in Orange, Calif.
Her love for storytelling was inspired by a video camera that she received as a birthday gift as a child. She began acting in commercials not long after.
