Sad news to report: Bob Marley‘s mother Cedella Marley-Booker passed away during the night of natural causes after a long illness. Booker died peacefully in her South Florida home surrounded by loved ones. She was 81.
Cedella’s grandson, Ky-Mani Marley, told The Miami Herald she “has always been a very loving, caring and supporting person in my life. She was always there to help me — even when I didn’t ask for help, she knew I needed help. She had that instinct to know when things were wrong and had the courage to fix it.'” (Source)
