Jackie Stallone, Celebrity Big Brother star and the mother of Hollywood actor Sylvester, has died at 98.
Frank Stallone, the younger brother to Sylvester, made the announcement on Monday night in a post shared to Instagram.
The Grammy award winner stated that Jackie ‘died in her sleep as she had wished‘ on Monday morning.
He wrote;
This morning my brothers and I lost our mother Jackie Stallone. She was the mother to four children, Tommy, Sylvester, Frankie, and my late sister Toni Ann.
She was a remarkable woman working out every day full of spunk and fearless. She died in her sleep as she had wished. It was hard not to like her, she was very eccentric and flamboyant person. She was born on November 29th 1921 in Washington DC, she lived through prohibition, the depression, and World War II.
Frank stated;
I would talk to her for hours about the ’20s ’30s and ’40s. It was a history lesson. Her mind was as sharp as a razor till the day she died. She never wore a mask a true revolutionary gal. I guess I’m drowning my emotions in tears and too much vino. But when you’ve known someone for 70 yrs it tough and sad. She had seven grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.
My brother Sylvester took care of her like a Queen for all of her life. I will never be able to call my mom again or have her yell at me why I never got married. But we all loved her and her spirit to survive and prevail. I’ll miss you always mommy.
