“We have a little bubble that we've had all this time,” she explained at the time. “We wear masks, and there's not very many of us. It's my sister, my brother-in-law, my mom, my assistant. And we stay far apart from each other.”

“I have to be careful too because I have asthma,” she continued of their precautions. “I have different health problems.”

Holt was born in Arkansas in 1926 and later became known as a singer, songwriter and actress. Other than Cher, she is survived by her daughter Georganne LaPiere, her grandchildren Chaz Bono and Elijah Blue Allman, as well as her longtime partner, Craig Spencer.

Cher spoke to People in 2020 on her mother's health during the pandemic.
