Kris Jenner is mourning the loss of her mother, Mary Jo “MJ” Shannon, who has died at the age of 91.
Jenner shared the heartbreaking news in a deeply personal message, remembering her mother as the foundation of their family and the person who shaped many of the values she carries today. She reflected on lessons of unconditional love, kindness, resilience, and the importance of always making time for the people who matter most.
Throughout the years, MJ became a familiar and beloved presence to viewers of the Kardashian family’s reality television series. Her warm personality and close bond with her children and grandchildren made her a fan favorite during appearances on both *Keeping Up with the Kardashians* and *The Kardashians*.
Long before her television appearances, MJ built a successful career as the owner of Shannon & Co., a children’s boutique in San Diego. Family members have often credited her strong work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit as an inspiration for future generations.
Jenner said her mother’s influence will continue through the family’s traditions and in the lives of her children and grandchildren. While the loss marks the end of an era for the Kardashian-Jenner family, the tributes shared by loved ones highlight the lasting impact MJ had both on her family and on the many fans who came to know her over the years.
No cause of death has been publicly disclosed.
