This Monday morning we learn the sad news of Frankie Lons, Keyshia Cole’s mother, has passed away.

In a post made by Cole’s niece, Zayya Henderson, she seems to break the news to the public as she mourns the loss of her grandmother.


“D*** grandma Frankie the call I just got on your birthday . I was just Finna come see you this week I just talked to you happy birthday beautiful and rest in heaven”

The Jasmine Brand Cole’s sister Elite Noel confirmed the news on her instagram story earlier this morning.

Frankie in the past has battled with drug addiction, however she appeared to be making positive strides. While Keyshia Cole was raised by her adopted parents, she reunited with her mother on her reality show “The Way It Is.”

Today would have been Frankie’s 61st birthday. Our condolences to her family and friends during this time.
