Maggie was best known for playing Ruth Audsley on the ITV soap, who was Hayley Cropper's friend before her transgender operation.
Sue wrote: "It is with great sadness that I have to announce the death of Maggie Fox, my comedy partner of 40 years and co-Artistic Director of LipService. Maggie passed away yesterday with her family around her. Sue recalled when she first met her talented friend, as she continued: "I met Maggie when we were Drama students at Bristol University in the 1970's. We were in a very serious production of Ibsen's The Lady For the Sea but for some reason the audience was on the floor laughing. A tragedy for Ibsen but the launch of an epic comedy partnership.
"It's notoriously difficult to present new work in theatre and we are really proud that we managed to do so and to build an audience for it."Addressing Maggie's friends and family's grief, Sue added: "We are still all in a state of shock as this was very sudden following an accident.
