Yvette Nicole Brown is mourning the death of her mother Fran.
TheCommunitystar, 49, confirmed the sad news early Sunday morning on Twitter along with a smiling selfie of mother and daughter. “She was magic. #RIP my tiny wonder. #MamaFran,” shewrote.
“If you want a glimpse of my mom search the #MamaFran hashtag,” Yvette noted in a followuptweet. “Thru the years I’ve shared things she’s said and done that were insightful or hysterical. She was truly one of a kind. And shout out to the other #MamaFran’s I discovered too!”
“I didn’t share what my family was dealing with because it was too big,” she added. “It still is—especially dealing with it so far away from home. I’m still processing how and why this had to happen now like this. I may never understand. But I trust His Will. That’s all I know to do. Thank you for all the prayers. Sadly, God had other plans. I love you, my sweet mama. Always. #MamaFran.”
Yvette posted a photo of Mama Fran earlier this month on Mother’s Day, along with a cameo from Mr. Harley Brown, the dog Yvette adopted from the set of the 2019 live-action adaptation ofLady and the Tramp.
“Her. It’s all because of her. This tiny wonder. #MamaFran #HappyMothersDay,” shewrote. “Fun Fact: only she can make #MisterHarleyBrown smile this big! Every picture with her he’s a country ham! Lol!”
TheBig Shotactress previously shared some of the wisdom Mama Fran passed on to her, which helped her pursue acting. “My mom gave me the best advice when I was 24 and working in corporate America,” shewrote.
