The mother of media mogul Oprah Winfrey, Vernita Lee, died on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, at the age of 83.
She died at home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Lee had already been buried at a private burial, said a spokesman for Winfrey to the press.
She leaves behind Winfrey and another daughter, Patricia Amanda Faye Lee, who gave up the adoption soon after her birth. Mother and daughter reconnected later in life.
Lee had two other children who preceded him in the grave.
Winfrey is expected to travel to South Africa soon, where she will participate in the Global Citizen Festival with artists such as Beyonce, Jay-Z, Black Coffee and many other international stars.
Twitterati was quick to express his condolences, but Oprah has not tweeted since Thanksgiving.
