Sharon Tucker, the mother of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" husband Todd Tucker, died suddenly from a stroke on Tuesday, People reports.

The Daily Mail adds that Sharon fell ill while she was in New York on Monday and was quickly rushed to the hospital by one of Todd's friends.

Upon her arrival at the hospital, Sharon was unconscious and later fell into a coma and passed away early Tuesday morning, says the Daily Mail.

"It's hard losing people that you love but when it's out of the blue with no warning it just makes it that much harder. ... I'm still in shock," she continued.

Todd described his mother as a "fighter" and "warrior for her son."
