The veteran character actor has made numerous guest appearances on TV shows since the 1970s. On the The Big Bang Theory, she wasn't seen on camera as the mother of Simon Helberg's character, Howard, but her character's loud voice with a Brooklyn accent was instantly recognizable.

The executive producers of the CBS sitcom say Susi was a beloved member of the Big Bang Theory family, and they praised her "immense talent and comedic timing."
Susi is survived by her brother, Michael Susi, and his wife, Connie.
