By Gina Vivinetto, Today | Scotty McCreery is mourning both of his grandmothers after they died on the same day. The country music star, 31, said July 10 on Instagram he was “in a bit of shock” after his beloved grandmothers, Janet and Paquita, died within hours of each other the day before.
“My heart is absolutely broken. Yesterday, both my Grandma Janet and my Grandma Paquita passed away,” McCreery wrote alongside a photo from his 2018 wedding that showed him and his wife, Gabi, standing alongside both women.
“I think I am still in a bit of shock as I type this, but I’m choosing to remember the great memories we all made with both of them. There really are too many to count,” the North Carolina native continued. “From being on the farm in Elizabeth City or visiting the Outer Banks with Grandma Janet. And then the incredible memories we made at the backyard pool in Pinehurst, all the way to visiting Puerto Rico with Grandma Paquita.”
He added that his grandmothers taught him “what love is all about,” and concluded his post, “I will miss them dearly. If yall could keep my family in your prayers I’d appreciate it.”
