Buzz Aldrin<\/strong>‘s wife Anca Faur<\/strong> died from an undisclosed form of cancer, according to a friend of the couple.<\/p>\n

In an interview with People<\/a>, Bobby Charles<\/strong> \u2014 who held the Bible at their wedding in 2023 \u2014 shared what led to Faur’s passing at the age of 66 on Tuesday, Oct. 28.<\/p>\n

“Anca had a very rare kind of cancer,” he said, noting she “fought it valiantly” for “quite some time” and was “doing everything that could be done.”<\/p>\n

“I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a more positive and courageous and loving effort to live and fight for more time,” he continued, “Even if I was talking to her a month ago, I still would’ve been optimistic.”<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Charles conceded there was “nothing” that could’ve been done to successfully treat her “aggressive” cancer.<\/p>\n

“Both of them were the kind of people that when they get presented with a problem that most people might cave to or worry couldn’t be beaten, they look at things and they say, ‘Okay, how do we beat it?’ ” Charles said of Aldrin and Faur. “And, and they really did… but it’s just some things you can’t control.”<\/p>\n
