\n\tThe singer announced the news Tuesday (June 17) on her Instagram Story<\/a>, sharing a photo of Marjorie as a young woman accompanied by a statement from the Grande family. \u201cWe are devastated to share that the beloved matriarch of our family has passed away,\u201d it reads. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMarjorie (Nonna) Grande passed peacefully in her home and was surrounded by her family and loved ones for every moment of her last few weeks,\u201d it continues. \u201cWe thank you for your love, support and for respecting our privacy as we grieve and celebrate her beautiful, extraordinary life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMarjorie was beloved amongst her granddaughter\u2019s fans, with the Grammy winner often sharing photos and videos of her grandmother over the years. The musician also enjoyed imitating Marjorie \u2014 who was the mother of Ariana\u2019s mom, Joan Grande \u2014 including on The Tonight Show <\/em>in 2016, where Nonna was present<\/a> in the audience.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe matriarch was also known for her cameos on a few of the vocalist\u2019s songs, including 2024\u2019s \u201cOrdinary Things.\u201d The Eternal Sunshine <\/em>album collaboration would make the then-98-year-old Nonna a Billboard Hot 100 <\/a>record-holder as the oldest person to ever make an appearance on the chart.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCelebrating the one and only, most beautiful Nonna who has now made history for being the senior most person to ever appear on the @billboard Hot100,\u201d Ariana wrote at the time<\/a>, sharing a photo of Marjorie beaming while holding her Hot 100 plaque. \u201cWe love and thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThough Nonna is no longer with us, fans need only to press play on \u201cOrdinary Things\u201d to remember her for her sage advice. In a recording featured prominently at the end of the track, she reflects on her marriage to late husband, Frank, and reminds us: \u201cNever go to bed without kissin\u2019 goodnight \u2026 That\u2019s the worst thing to do, don\u2019t ever, ever do that. And if you don\u2019t feel comfortable doing it, you\u2019re in the wrong place \u2014 get out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
