He shared a beautifully framed picture of his mother on Instagram, revealing in the caption that she died on Monday. A cause of death has not yet been made public: “This morning my brothers and I lost our mother Jackie Stallone. She was the mother to four children, Tommy, Sylvester, Frankie, and my late sister Toni Ann. She was a remarkable woman working out every day full of spunk and fearless. She died in her sleep as she had wished.”
Jackie had a great career during her life. She was an astrologer and women’s wrestling promoter, and also had a very memorable, brief, stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house in the UK in 2005. Frank said, “It was hard not to like her, she was very eccentric and flamboyant person. She was born on November 29, 1921 in Washington DC, she lived through prohibition, the depression and World War II. I would talk to her for hours about the 20’s 30’s and 40’s. It was a history lesson.”
“Her mind was as sharp as a razor till the day she died,” Frank continued. “My brother Sylvester took care of her like a Queen for all of her life. I will never be able to call my mom again or have her yell at me why I never got married. But we all loved her and her sprit [sic] to survive and prevail. I’ll miss you always mommy.”
