Brad Pitt's Heartfelt Tribute to Late Mother Jane Etta Weeks Before Her Passing
BRAD PITT'S MOTHER Jane Etta Pitt Passes Away at 84, Leaving Behind a Legacy of Love and Devotion
In a bittersweet revelation, sources close to Brad Pitt have confirmed that his beloved mother, Jane Etta Pitt, has passed away at the tender age of 84. The news comes just weeks after Pitt showered his mom with love and affection during a promotional tour for his latest film, F1.
Pitt's Heartfelt Tribute
During an appearance on the Today show in June, Pitt shared an endearing moment with anchor Savannah Guthrie as he spoke about his mother watching the morning show from home. With a cheek-to-cheek grin and a wave to the camera, Pitt blew a kiss to his mom, saying "To Jane Pitt. Love you, Mom." Little did he know that this sweet gesture would become an emotional reminder of their time together.
A Lifetime of Love and Devotion
Jane Etta Pitt was born in Memphis, Tennessee in 1940 and met her future husband, William Alvin Pitt (Brad's father), at Oklahoma Baptist University. After marrying in 1962, the couple raised three children - Brad, Doug, and Julie - in Springfield, Missouri. Over the years, Jane and her family were a regular fixture on the Hollywood red carpet, with both parents attending high-profile events alongside their son.
A Force to Be Reckoned With
In 2014, Jane made headlines when she penned an op-ed piece for the local newspaper, arguing that Christians should vote for Mitt Romney in the presidential election. This bold move was a testament to her unwavering faith and conviction. Pitt has always spoken fondly of his mother's kind heart and generous spirit, describing her as "very, very loving" in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Pitt's Niece Pays Tribute
In a heartfelt post on social media, Jane's granddaughter Sydney - the daughter of Brad's younger brother Doug - paid tribute to her "sweet Grammy." Sydney shared fond memories of growing up under Jane's guidance, learning valuable life lessons about kindness, strength, and the importance of following one's heart. The touching post read: "She taught me how to paint, how to be strong, how to lead with kindness, to love Jesus through everything, and to find joy in the smallest things."
A Legacy That Lives On
Jane is survived by her husband William Alvin Pitt, three children - Brad, Doug, and Julie - and 14 grandchildren. Her family will undoubtedly miss her dearly, but they take comfort in knowing that she lived a life filled with love, devotion, and purpose. As Sydney so eloquently put it, "There was no limit to the love she gave, and everyone who met her felt it."
A Bittersweet Reminder of Family Drama
The news of Jane's passing is sure to stir up memories of Brad Pitt's tumultuous family life in recent years. Sources close to the family revealed that his parents were "heartbroken" at not seeing their grandchildren for eight years after an explosive fight on a private jet in 2016 led to Angelina Jolie filing for divorce. The estrangement was reportedly due to a deep-seated rift between Brad and his children, which has only recently begun to heal.
The Pitt family's loss is a poignant reminder of the importance of family bonds and the impact that loved ones have on our lives. As we bid farewell to Jane Etta Pitt, we take comfort in knowing that her legacy will live on through the countless lives she touched with her love and devotion.
A Final Message from Brad
In response to his mother's passing, Brad Pitt's representatives declined to comment when contacted by thescholarlynote.com. While this may seem like a reserved reaction, it's likely that Brad is taking time to process his grief and reflect on the incredible bond he shared with his beloved mother.
In closing, we remember Jane Etta Pitt as a shining example of love, kindness, and devotion - a true matriarch who will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
