“My mom gained her angel wings today,” Camille wrote in the caption of her post, which featured a carousel of photos of her mother from over the years. “She was a strong beautiful warrior who fought to the very end. Her strength and endurance was an inspiration to so many. She lived her life to the fullest. Her love and sense of humor made us feel better during difficult times. I will miss you [every day]. I love you so much!”
According to Camille’s rep, per People, Maureen passed away at her home in New Jersey “surrounded by family.”

Camille, who is in remission for endometrial and skin cancers, had previously opened up about how she and her mom were both genetically predisposed to cancer. In September, Camille commemorated her 54th birthday by spending time with her loved ones. She also shared an update on her mom’s battle with bladder and kidney cancers.
“For my birthday I spent a few days with my family,” the 54-year-old captioned her post. “It was a very special birthday for me to spend that time with my mother who’s been battling kidney and bladder cancer for years now. She was first diagnosed at the age of 47 with stage 3 ovarian cancer. With the help of her amazing doctors, she is still with us. Her 75th birthday is on the 19th of September. Bless her for not giving up years ago. Let this be a reminder how precious life is...”
According to Camille’s rep, arrangements for Maureen are still pending.
