Sad news for Jennifer Aniston.

The Friends star’s estranged mother, Nancy Dow, died earlier today, May 25, sources exclusively confirm to In Touch. She was 79 years old.

“Jen must have had a wake-up call and wanted to see her mother one last time before she passes,” an insider told the magazine.

Since then, an insider said she suffered a series of strokes and lost the ability to speak and walk prior to her death.

Nancy’s loved ones remain in our thoughts.
