Brad’s niece and Jane’s granddaughter, Sydney Pitt, confirmed Jane’s passing in an Instagram post shared on Wednesday.
“My sweet Grammy, Jane Etta, we were not ready for you to go yet but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier,” wrote Sydney, whose father is Brad’s brother, Doug Pitt.
“If you knew Grammy, you knew she had the biggest heart,” Sydney continued. “She cared deeply for everyone and everything, no questions asked. She taught me how to paint, how to be strong, how to lead with kindness, to love Jesus through everything, and to find joy in the smallest things.
