FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Jeff Bezos posted a tribute on Instagram to his mother, Jacklyn Gise Bezos, after she died Thursday at age 78.
She died from complications of Lewy body dementia.
“After a long fight with Lewy body dementia, she passed away today, surrounded by so many of us who loved her — her kids, grandkids, and my dad,” Bezos said in a social media post. “I know she felt our love in those final moments. We were all so lucky to be in her life.”
The Bezos Family Foundation also shared news of her passing.
“To the countless people she touched throughout a remarkable life, Jacklyn Gise Bezos was a fierce advocate and supporter, filled with heart for others, and never accepting the status quo.”
