Cissy Houston passed away at 91 while in hospice care for Alzheimer’s disease in her New Jersey home. “Our hearts are filled with pain and sadness. We lost the matriarch of our family,” Pat said in an interview. “A woman of deep faith and conviction, who cared greatly about family, ministry, and community. Her more than seven-decade career in music and entertainment will remain at the forefront of our hearts.”
She added, “Her contributions to popular music and culture are unparalleled. We are blessed and grateful that God allowed her to spend so many years with us and we are thankful for all the many valuable life lessons that she taught us. May she rest in peace, alongside her daughter, Whitney, and granddaughter Bobbi Kristina, and other cherished family members.”
