At the age of 91, Cissy Houston, the mother of late singer Whitney Houston, has passed away. Her former son-in-law, Bobby Brown, is now paying tribute to her.

They said, “Sending love and blessings to the Houston family on this great loss. May she rest in Peace and Power. The Browns.”
Brown and Whitney’s relationship had a tumultuous history, starting with their meeting at the Soul Train Music Awards in 1989. Despite the odds, they married in 1992, but their marriage was plagued with issues, including allegations of infidelity, physical abuse, and drug addiction. They had a daughter together, Bobbi Kristina, who tragically passed away in 2015.

The Houston family is deeply saddened by the loss of their matriarch, but they are grateful for the many years they were able to spend with her. She will be remembered alongside Whitney and Bobbi Kristina, as well as other cherished family members.
