On Thursday, Aug. 14, the Bezos Scholars Program announced Jackie's death. She died in her Miami, Fla., home earlier that day.
"A quiet final chapter to a life that taught all of us, friends and family alike, the true meaning of grit and determination, kindness and service to others," the statement read.
It continued, "Jackie's life of service was second only to her passion for family and gathering. As a grandmother Jackie found immense joy in watching her family grow. She passed down not only traditions and stories, but also her values—kindness, resilience, and the importance of togetherness."
What was Jacklyn Bezos' cause of death?
A cause of death was not specifically announced for Jacklyn. However, the Bezos Scholars Program noted that she was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia, a "progressive neurological disorder that she battled with the same dignity and courage that shaped every aspect of her life," in 2020.
The statement added, "Mike, her husband and partner for more than a half century remained by her side at every step of this journey."
Jeff posted a tribute to his mother in the wake of her death.
On Instagram, the Amazon mogul posted a photo of his late mother alongside a touching tribute.
"Her adulthood started a little bit early when she became my mom at the tender age of 17. That couldn’t have been easy, but she made it all work," Jeff, 61, captioned his update. "She pounced on the job of loving me with ferocity, brought my amazing dad onto the team a few years later, and then added my sister and brother to her list of people to love, guard, and nourish. For the rest of her life, that list of people to love never stopped growing. She always gave so much more than she ever asked for."

Meanwhile, Sánchez posted the same photo of Jackie to her Instagram Stories along with a broken heart emoji.
