Cedella Marley Booker Passes At 81
Cedella Marley Booker, mother of late reggae icon Bob Marley, died Tuesday night at her South Florida home after a long illness. She was 81.
Booker was surrounded by loved ones inside her South Miami-Dade home and was ”very happy and very peaceful,” said daughter-in-law Sharien Booker. “Her vision was always to bring people together. She was a very loving person, and we know she’s happy.”
Booker’s grandson, Ky-Mani Marley, an accomplished musician himself, told The Miami Herald she had always been a “caring and supporting person in my life. She was always there to help me — even when I didn’t ask for help, she knew I needed help. She had that instinct to know when things were wrong and had the courage to fix it.” [ source ]
The Miami Herald reports that she is leaving behind 52 grandchildren. My prayers go out to the family in their loss.
