Amazon founder Jeff Bezos announced the passing of his mother, Jacklyn Gise Bezos, in an emotional Instagram post. She died on August 14 at the age of 78 after a long battle with Lewy Body Dementia, spending her final moments surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and husband. Bezos remembered her as a source of love and strength, while his wife, Lauren Sanchez Bezos, shared a heartfelt tribute saying they would miss her “so much.” Jacklyn, who had Jeff at 17, overcame early struggles, later marrying Miguel “Mike” Bezos, who adopted him. She played a key role in establishing the Bezos Family Fund and was remembered for her warmth and generosity. Stars like Sharon Stone, Katy Perry, and Naomi Campbell also joined in honoring her legacy.
