Marcheline Bertrand, actress and mother of Angelina Jolie, died on Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, Jolie said in a statement to the Associated Press.
The 56-year-old Bertrand, who battled cancer for over seven-and-a-half years, was surrounded by her children, Angelina and son James Haven, as well as Jolie’s partner, Brad Pitt.
“Marcheline was beautiful, caring and totally devoted to her children. I never saw her upset or sad, even after she was diagnosed with cancer,” Lea Hunter, who once dated Haven, tells PEOPLE. “She always treated me like a member of her family.”
Angelina is quite young to lose her mother like that. My mom is a little bit older than Angelina’s mom and I can’t imagine losing her at such a young age. Our thoughts go out to Angelina’s family.
According to People, instead of flowers the family is requesting donations to the Women’s Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai in LA, where Bertrand spent her last days.
The funeral is said to be private, but you know that the paparazzi are going to be keeping an eye out for it.
