The 64-year-old country star announced on Saturday (14Mar20) that her mother, Jacqueline, had passed away after a battle with cancer, writing: "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 continued, in a post shared on Instagram. "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," Reba continued. "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... We're all going to miss her but we have so many wonderful memories. Thank you Lord for that."
The "Back To God" star added that, "In lieu of flowers, the family lovingly asks that memorials be sent to the Reba McEntire Fund to benefit the Jacqueline McEntire Library Fund," before sharing details of how fans could send donations.
Reba previously revealed she added spiritual song, "You Never Gave Up on Me", to her 2019 album "Stronger Than the Truth", as an expression of gratitude for her mother.
