Reba McEntire Mourns Death of Mother Jacqueline After Cancer Battle

Country music veteran Reba McEntire revealed that her mother, Jacqueline McEntire, had died following a battle with cancer. Jacqueline is survived by her children Reba, Susie, Pake and Alice. Her husband Clark died in October 2014 at the age of 86.
"Our Mother, Jacqueline McEntire, made that wonderful cross over into Heaven today. She had a wonderful, full, healthy life and was absolutely ready to go," she began. "The cancer might think it won the battle but we're giving God all the credit on selecting the time for her to go home to Him. She was ready to see our Daddy, her mama and daddy and all her family and friends."
"Down here, Alice, Pake, Susie and I, grandkids and great grandkids all got to visit with her either in person or over the phone. She left knowing how much she is loved and we all know how much she loved us," Reba continued. "We are very thankful for all the prayers, cards, calls, visits, the care-givers with their huge hearts, and the time God gave us with Mama."
In lieu of flowers, Reba is requesting that memorials be sent to the Reba McEntire Fund to benefit the Jacqueline McEntire Library Fund.
In 2017 Reba McEntire released her first full-length Christian album Sing It Now: Songs of Faith and Hope through Nash Icon Records and Capitol Christian Music Group. From the set of her forthcoming music video for "Back To God," Reba revealed details about her influences, upbringing and lifelong help from her guardian angels that lead to this collection. The double-disc project highlights traditional hymns of "faith" throughout the first 10 songs while more contemporary tracks of "hope" round out the back half.
