Oprah Winfrey's mother has passed on.
Vernita Lee, 83, died on Thanksgiving Day, November 22. The family just confirmed the death and Oprah's niece Alisha Hayes gave a bit more detail on social media.

Vernita Lee with Vernon Winfrey had Oprah Winfrey in 1954. Because Vernita moved to Milwaukee to work as a maid, she couldn't raise Oprah and the TV host had to be raised by her maternal grandmother. When Oprah turned 6, she moved to Milwaukee to live with her mother.
