Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell’s daughter-in-law Meredith Hagner took to social media to share that she had lost a beloved member of her family.
The actress, 36, shared on her Instagram Stories many memories with her “mema,” presumably her grandmother, who had passed away after living a long and storied life.
Meredith paid a sweet tribute to her late grandmother, sharing side-by-side photographs of her and writing: “My beloved Mema, the daughter of a coal miner.
Meredith mourned the death of her grandmother on Instagram
“Rose from poverty in West Virginia, ended up starring in her own radio show, ‘Jeanette, Sweetheart of the Valley’. Hers was a triumphant story, one with many twists and turns. Cute as hell, whip smart, and deeply witty up till the end.”
Deeming her a “forever inspiration,” she ended with: “I’ll always love you, rest in peace,” and included more throwback photos, including one with her father Ron Hagner as a young boy.
Meredith added a recent video of her Mema in Florida, where she had been visiting while working nearby, and recalled: “A little over a year ago, while shooting a particularly special job in Florida, I had the gift of living within driving distance to Mema and George.
Alongside a loving tribute, she shared many sweet photos of their time together
“I took them solo with my baby on a vacation to a fancy hotel. I’m so grateful I did, both passed away within the next year. It was a time I will treasure forever,” she continued, touching adding: “George is blind and had never seen Mema, a great love story.”
Just weeks before her passing, Meredith and her husband Wyatt Russell, 37, welcomed their second child, a little brother for their son Buddy Prine Russell, who is now three years old. Boone became the eighth addition to the ever-growing Hawn-Russell clan, including three of Kate Hudson’s children and three of Oliver Hudson’s own.
On February 13, the couple welcomed their son Boone, and Meredith wrote on Instagram alongside the first picture of their newborn: “Boone Joseph Russell. Born Feb 13, a week before his due date. 8 pounds 3 oz of heaven. Hearts overflowing.”
