Kelly Rowland is mourning the death of her mother.

The singer announced in a statement that Doris Rowland Garrison died on Tuesday December 2 in Atlanta at age 66 — days before her birthday on Saturday.

The former Destiny’s Child member, who recently became a mother herself, called her mother an incredible soul who made countless sacrifices so she could become the person she is today.
