Patricia Hewitt, mother of actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, died Tuesday, US Weekly reports. She was 67.

Patricia died from complications with her cancer, an illness her "Client List" star daughter kept private from the public.


"Her family mourns her loss," a rep for the actress said in a statement.

"She was an angel to all who knew her and they are grateful she is now in a better place. They ask for privacy at this difficult time. No further details are being provided."






Patricia was a speech-language pathologist who moved to Los Angeles in 1989 so Jennifer could pursue her dreams of acting. The following year, Jennifer joined "Kids Incorporated".

Patricia is survived by daughter Jennifer and her son Dr. Todd Hewitt.

I read that she and Jennifer were VERY close; I think her daughter even lived with her well into adulthood. Very sad. 67 is way too young.

:rip:

Very sad. I saw some of the interviews of Hewitt promoting The Client List and she looked so up and happy. Who knew who she was dealing with this problem? RIP.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Recalls how the Press Knew her Mother Died Before she Did

Jennifer Love Hewitt is celebrating a lot this holiday season. Her new book Inheriting Magic is dropping on Dec. 10, followed four days later by The Holiday Junkie on Lifetime, which Hewitt directed, executive produced, and stars in with her husband Brian Hallisay.

Both the book and The Holiday Junkie are personal projects for Hewitt because they are in memory of her late mother, Patricia Mae, who died from complications from cancer on June 12, 2012.




In a conversation with her "9-1-1" co-star Bryan Safi at a recent event for her book and the movie at Zibby’s Bookshop in Los Angeles, Hewitt revealed that the press knew her mother had officially passed away before she did.

“The part that I didn’t put in the book is that actually the press knew that my mom had passed before I did,” Hewitt said. She was flying home from the 52nd Monte Carlo TV film festival when her mom passed away.

“The flight time with me getting back was so long. It was like a 10-and-a-half-hour flight, so by the time I arrived, everybody knew, and it was such a weird thing for me. But then later on, I was like, but everybody’s always known everything about my life kind of before. Even breakups, people have been like, ‘He was cheating on you already.’ Really, people? Like, why didn’t you tell me?”




It's been 12 years since her mother passed, but Hewitt is now ready to open up about the cherished memories she shared with the woman who raised her and why those memories are so powerful during the holiday season.

“If I had a broken heart or a bad day, she would put up Christmas lights because she believed that that sort of lifted the mood,” she said at the event. “If I had bad cramps, there were lights."
