“Thank you all for your kind words and condolences regarding my mother Vernita Lee’s passing. It gives our family great comfort knowing she lived a good life and is now at Peace,” she captioned a family photo she posted on Instagram.
Lee, who was 83, was born in Mississippi and gave birth to Winfrey as a young girl. She and Oprah’s father, Vernon Winfrey, never married. The family already held a private memorial.
