GIGI REBEL Wilson Mourns Loss of Beloved Grandma, 95: A Legacy of Love, Laughter, and Unforgettable Family Adventures

The entertainment world is in mourning as Rebel Wilson shares a heart-wrenching tribute to her beloved grandmother, who passed away at the ripe age of 95. The Pitch Perfect star took to Instagram to express her grief alongside an emotional reel showcasing cherished memories with her nan.

Rebel's grandma, affectionately known as "Gar," was more than just a family matriarch - she was a force to be reckoned with. This feisty lady lived life on her own terms and left behind an incredible legacy that continues to inspire Rebel and their loved ones.

'Goodbye to my incredible Grandma Gar - the BEST grandmother ever,' the Pitch Perfect star began in a lengthy caption

As Rebel shared in the caption, her grandmother's favorite movie was none other than The Wizard of Oz. "But years later, she finally got to watch it," Rebel wrote, highlighting the kind of determination and spirit that defined Gar's life.

From keeping a scrapbook filled with news clippings about Rebel's career (she was so proud!) to telling paramedics about her illustrious vacation on the Queen Mary (a gift from Rebel when they were making it big in Hollywood), Gar's love for her family shone bright until the very end.

One of the most cherished memories shared by Rebel is of a family trip to America when she was just 11 years old. "She took me and my sister to Disneyland, and we took her on SPACE MOUNTAIN - saying 'it's not that scary Gar!' and she screamed the entire way down holding on for dear life!" This hilarious anecdote captures the kind of playful, adventurous spirit that made Gar so beloved.

Rebel's grandma was also a pillar of strength, supporting her family through thick and thin. "She loved watching tennis, musicals, neenish tarts," Rebel wrote, "but most importantly she LOVED her family - her children, grandchildren, and now great-grandchildren."

As the world mourns Gar's passing, we're reminded of the incredible impact one person can have on those around them. This trailblazing woman owned a hair salon back in the day when few women dared to venture into entrepreneurship.

Just months prior, Rebel shared the sad news of her grandfather's passing at 97 years young. "RIP Poppy - 97 years young," she wrote on Instagram, sharing a heartwarming photo of herself and her elderly relative.

'It meant my 94-year-old grandmother Gar could come, which was very special to us to have her included, and it just felt right to do it in my hometown at this glorious time of the year!' Rebel wrote at the time

Rebel's family has been through so much, but their love for each other remains unshakeable. The actress recently tied the knot with wife Ramona Agruma in a beautiful ceremony attended by close friends and family, including Rebel's 94-year-old grandmother.

Their wedding was truly a fairytale affair, held at the iconic Opera House in Sydney, Australia. "My sister Liberty officiated our legal wedding," Rebel revealed on Instagram, sharing photos of the happy couple with their loved ones.

Rebel and Ramona first exchanged vows in Sardinia, Italy, last year, surrounded by stunning views and a romantic ambiance that was pure magic. Their fairytale romance has captured the hearts of many, and we're honored to share in their joy as they celebrate their love for each other.

As Rebel navigates this difficult time with her family, she's finding solace in the countless memories they shared with Gar. "She leaves behind an incredible legacy," Rebel wrote, "and I proudly carry her royal name of Elizabeth."

Rest in peace, Gar. Your love and spirit will live on through your family and friends forever.
