Natalie Cole’s Mom Dies



Natalie Cole’s mom, Maria Cole, passed away Tuesday after a battle with cancer, RumorFix confirmed.

Natalie and her siblings, Timoli and Casey released this statement to RumorFix:

“Our mom was in a class all by herself. She epitomized, class, elegance, and truly defined what it is to be a real lady. We are so blessed and privileged to have inherited the legacy that she leaves behind along with our father. She died how she lived – with great strength, courage and dignity, surrounded by her loving family.”

Maria, who was the widow of Nat King Cole, was an entertainer herself having performed with Count Basie and Duke Ellington.
