Angelina Jolie's Aunt Debbie Loses Battle with Breast Cancer

Angelina Jolie's aunt, Debbie, 61 has lost her battle with Stage Four breast cancer; the news of her death was relayed by Debbie’s husband, Ronald Martin.

This is coming on the heels of Jolie’s recent announcement that she had a preventative double mastectomy earlier in the year.

"Angelina has been in touch throughout the week and her brother Jamie has been with us, giving his support day by day," Ronald said. "They both loved Debbie very much and although Angie is not able to come right now she has sent her love and support which was very nice."

Debbie died at Palomar Hospital in Escondido, Calif. and is survived by her husband Ron and their two sons Chris and Cory Martin.

Rest in Peace.
