Molly Glynn, a Chicago theater actress who appeared on the show Chicago Fire, died this weekend after being hit by a falling tree during a storm.

The tragic incident happened Friday while Glynn, 46, was riding bikes with her husband Joe Foust in the Forest Preserve Trail in Erickson Woods. Glynn, who played a doctor on Chicago Fire, was hit by a tree before being taken to a hospital where she passed away, the Cook County Coroner's Office confirmed to NBC.

Glynn was a longtime performer in the Chicago theater scene.

Michael Halberstam, the artistic director at Chicago's Writers Theatre, told the local NBC news station in response to Glynn's death, "Molly was a marvelous actress and a completely warm hearted and generous human being. She had grace, sophistication and a sparkling, sexy, sassy stage presence. She could transform from a princess to a flower girl in the twinkling of an eye. She was a loving mother and wife and everyone who met her fell in love with her."
