Oscar-Winning Actress Ariana DeBose Pays Emotional Tribute to Late Mother Gina
Ariana DeBose, the 32-year-old Oscar-winning actress, has shared a heartfelt tribute to her mother, Gina Michelle DeBose, who passed away at the age of 57.
Gina, a teacher for nearly 30 years, was known as a "local celebrity" in their community for her dedication and passion for nurturing young minds. She most recently taught 8th grade social studies.
In an emotional Instagram post, Ariana praised her mother's creativity, empathy, and courage. She described Gina as her "favorite person, biggest fan, toughest critic, best friend," and her "wonderful, funny, special warrior queen."
Ariana shared numerous photos of her mother in the post, and concluded by asking her followers to donate to ovarian cancer foundations in memory of her mother. However, it's important to note that her tribute focused on ovarian cancer awareness and support, and did not mention any specific uterine cancer foundations for donations.
Gina had been battling stage three uterine cancer for three years. She fought a "sneaky disease" with the same strength and resilience she brought to everything she did.
Ariana announced Gina's passing via Instagram on Tuesday, stating that her Oscar "belongs to her mother as much as it belongs to her." She ended the post with a simple yet poignant statement: "I love you, Mom."
Throughout her life, Gina and Ariana were each other's date for significant moments in Ariana's life. Their bond was a source of strength and inspiration for Ariana, and she often credited her mother for her success.
The loss of Gina is a profound one, but her spirit lives on in the lives she touched and the legacy she left behind. Ariana's tribute is a testament to the love and admiration she had for her mother, and serves as a reminder of the importance of supporting those fighting against cancer.
