Jennifer Love Hewitts mother passed away at the age of 67

Jennifer Love Hewitt’s mom Patricia passed away on Tuesday after losing her battle with cancer. She was only 67 years old.

J.Love’s rep released this statement, “Her family mourns her loss. She was an angel to all who knew her and they are grateful she is now in a better place. They ask for privacy at this difficult time. No further details are being provided.”

Jennifer kept her mother’s illness private but she often talked about her sense of humor and how she was her biggest supporter.

Jennifer joked this year about how her mother thought it was hilarious that she scored a role as a prostitute on ‘The Client List’. She said, “[My mom] was like, ‘So let’s review … For 15 years people have been talking about your boobs. Earlier this year, you wrote about your hoo haw in a book. Now you’re playing a crack ho on TV.’ She was like, ‘Do you think maybe you could do an animated movie next?’ “

Sorry for your loss Jenn. Our thoughts are with you and the Hewitt family right now.
