Famous TV Presenter Sits in DOLIU – Her Mother Has Died for Thanksgiving – Information Sources

Oprah Winfrey goes through moments after her 83-year-old mother died of Thanksgiving, even during Thanksgiving, writes a1.ro.

According to the Daily Mail, the sad announcement was made by Oprah's niece, Alisha Hayes.

"Rest in peace, grandmother!" Alisha wrote in front of a photo that she made public on her personal social account.

According to the source, the 83-year-old woman died at her home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and her funeral has already taken place.

Oprah and Vernita Lee did not have very good relationships. Shortly after giving birth to Oprah, Vernita moved to Milwaukee to earn money and support her family. The little girl was raised by the grandmother. The two met when Oprah was six, but only for a moment.

In 1963, when she gave birth to another girl, Vernita gave her adoption to Oprah. She did not know her sister because she had been brought home, but she only learned of her existence in 2010. It seems that Patricia, her stepfather, died in 2003 because of a cocaine addiction.

Oprah and Vernita were not close at all, but years ago, the TV star took a step toward reconciliation and invited her to participate in her show.
