Reba McEntire on steering clear of politics at the 2019 ACM Awards
Reba McEntire opens up about why there won't be any politics at the 2019 ACM Awards, if she'll marry boyfriend Skeeter, and her secrets to looking so great.
Reba McEntire had to make an incredibly difficult decision on Monday after her mother died over the weekend.
The country music star announced on social media that she and her family will "indefinitely postpone" her mother Jacqueline's funeral and burial out of an abundance of caution amid the United States' coronavirus outbreak.
"After much thought and careful consideration among our family, we have decided to indefinitely postpone Mama’s funeral and burial at this time. We will continue to monitor the situation and let you know as soon as possible about future plans to celebrate her life," she confirmed.
The 64-year-old actress took to Twitter on Saturday to announce that her mother, Jacqueline, passed away after a battle with cancer at the age of 93.
