She graduated from Fontana High School in Fontana, CA. She studied Kinesiology at UCLA and was working in that field when she met her husband, John, in 1990.

She and Tyler traveled North America together for ten years, working in television and film. She also found time to be a team mom during son Jesse's youth baseball career.

Tyler Posey has not publicly addressed his mother’s death but he did offer his thanks to fans via social media.

 Creatures of the Night

Teen Wolf Executive Producer Jeff Davis shuns most social media but he’s kept his (private) Instagram account active and this week released a doozy of a spoiler for Season 5. Actors began receiving their scripts this week in anticipation of returning to Teen Wolf’s Northridge, CA headquarters in February to begin filming. Thus far, the name of the first episode is the only concrete piece of information we have about the theme of the season. Davis has previously revealed that it will be Scott’s senior year and a couple of characters who left the show may return.

Teen Wolf Season 5 will tell a single story over 20 episodes. While filming is slated to begin in a month, there is no indication from MTV about when the episodes will begin airing.

 The Best and Worst of 2014

2014 was a year of highs and lows for the Teen Wolf fans.

Stiles Possessed
The Nogitsune gave us the darkest storyline of the show so far. It also gave Dylan O’Brien a chance to show the world what an incredible actor he’s become.

Allison’s Death
While many may think this was one of the worst things about the Teen Wolf year, you can’t fault the performance of Crystal Reed in that final scene with Scott and Allison. If she had to go, it couldn’t have been a more beautiful exit.

Kate Comes Home
Actor Jill Wagner is one of the best when it comes to chewing up the scenery and, as a werejaguar, Jeff Davis gave her fangs to get the job done right! Kate’s return was, for the most part, just insanely fun and unforgettable.

Conventions
Never have so many fans had so many opportunities to meet the stars of the show. More than a dozen Teen Wolf conventions in various parts of the world offered photo ops and panels with Teen Wolf actors and creators.

Two Seasons
After facing long waits between the first three seasons, MTV gave us two seasons practically back to back in 2014 - 24 episodes of Teen Wolfie goodness!

Where’s Danny?
Without a single word of explanation, one of the show’s most popular characters vanished in Season 4. It was a boneheaded move on the part of the creators.

Who are These People?
Between new characters arriving and old characters leaving more than half the main cast changed in 2014. While many of the new additions are welcome (Liam, Parrish, Kira, Malia) it often looked like an entirely different show.

Ratings Tumble
The bottom dropped out of younger demographics in the Neilsen Company’s TV Ratings. Thanks to the rapid shift to alternate viewing (VOD, DVR), it’s happened to nearly every show popular with teens. For Teen Wolf it looked particularly bad with overall viewing numbers dropping below Season 1 levels after three seasons of solid growth.



Fandom Fractures
2014 saw some factions of fandom begin to hate on the show, its producers and the MTV promotions team. Their complaints are legion and the venom they spew is pure poison. This turned social media into a minefield for fans that are still happy and just want to talk about Teen Wolf.

Continuity Gaffs
Teen Wolf has always had a problem with their internal timeline. Their philosophy is - “While it’s only been one year for our characters, it was THIS year.” That’s fine but as they continue to show contradicting dates on screen, confusion mounts. Nothing in 2014 generated more confusion than Malia’s supposed birth certificate shown during Season 4.

New Year!
2014 was a massive year for Teen Wolf. With the production of Season 5’s 20 episodes kicking off in one month and all the films and side projects our wolfies have going, 2015 looks to be even bigger.
