Sadly, the world lost “I Am Woman” singer Helen Reddy in late September. Her two children, Traci and Jordan shared the news with fans, calling her “a truly formidable woman.” Helen was diagnosed with dementia five years ago.
Her children wrote, “It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Helen Reddy, on the afternoon of September 29, 2020, in Los Angeles. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and a truly formidable woman. Our hearts are broken. But we take comfort in the knowledge that her voice will live on forever.”
Traci is the eldest daughter, born in 1963. Traci’s father is Helen’s ex-husband Kenneth Weate.
